介绍（中）	丢勒将木刻媒介提升到前所未有的技术精湛水平。在《参孙撕裂狮子》中，他实现了惊人的绘画效果，与当代版画中创造的效果相媲美。在狮子的鬃毛中实现了非凡的色调渐变——如果考虑到印刷品中的每一条锥形黑线都是通过削掉预期线两侧的木头在木版中形成的，那就更令人惊讶了。这种专业和自信的处理是丢勒早期木刻画的特别特征，可追溯到1490年代。大约二十年前，以色列人范·梅肯姆（Israel van Meckenem）雕刻的一幅版画是丢勒对旧约英雄的有力描绘的来源，他"突然被上帝的灵抓住"，"把狮子撕成碎片，好像它是个孩子一样"（士师记14：6）。没有武器的参孙出现在狮子的背上，一只脚踩在狮子的脖子上，他强行张开嘴。
介绍（英）	Dürer elevated the medium of woodcut to an unprecedented level of technical virtuosity. In Samson Rending the Lion, he achieved striking pictorial effects that vie with those created in contemporary engravings. Remarkable gradations of tone were realized in the lion's mane—all the more amazing if one considers that each tapered black line in the print was formed in the woodblock by chipping away the wood on either side of the intended line. Such expert and self-assured handling is particularly characteristic of Dürer's early woodcuts, dating to the 1490s. A print engraved about twenty years earlier by Israel van Meckenem served as the source for Dürer's powerful depiction of the Old Testament hero who, "suddenly seized" by the spirit of God, "tore the lion to pieces as if it were a kid" (Judges 14:6). The weaponless Samson is here shown on the lion's back, one foot pressed into its neck as he forces open its mouth.
