The article discusses the ongoing debate surrounding the authenticity of the painting 'Samson and Delilah' by Peter Paul Rubens, currently on display at the National Gallery. Critics, including Michael Daley and Euphrosyne Doxiadis, question its attribution to Rubens, claiming the National Gallery may be covering up its modern origins. Despite these allegations, the author defends the painting, asserting that it captivates viewers and fits well within Rubens' oeuvre, attributing the dissonance of expectations to the painting's passionate nature rather than its quality.
Michael Daley and his group ArtWatch UK allege that the National Gallery hides a fake or modern copy of Rubens' legendary work, 'Samson and Delilah.'
Euphrosyne Doxiadis argues that 'Samson and Delilah' is a shoddy artifact, lacking the brilliance expected from a true Rubens masterpiece.
