Samson and Delilah is a 1629–1630 painting by Rembrandt, now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[1] It is first recorded in Frederick Henry of Orange's collection in the Hague in 1632 and passed down through the family until Huis Honselaarsdijk and its contents were bequeathed to Frederick I of Prussia on the death of William III of Orange. Frederick's son Frederick the Great probably moved the painting to Berlin in 1742. In 1793 it was mentioned as a work by Govert Flinck in the inventory of the Berlin Stadtschloss, and it remained there until moving to its present home in 1906.
