Samson Master
( fl c. 1190–c. 1220/30). German sculptor or workshop. Active in the Cologne and Middle Rhine area, he or it is named after the fragment of a figure of Samson Fighting a Lion (shell-limestone, h. 560 mm, c. 1220; Maria Laach Abbey). The designation is now thought to apply to a workshop, rather than an individual, which produced a group of figural sculptures and capitals in a somewhat varied Late Romanesque style (the Paradise capitals in Maria Laach; the double capital, probably from St Maria ad Gradus in Cologne, now Cologne, Erzbischöf. Diöz.-Mus.).
