The Samson Fountain is the ideological center piece of the Grand cascade, is the sculptural group named as “Samson Tearing Apart the Jaws of the Lion”. During his lifetime, Peter I was often compared with another Samson – a biblical hero, whose first act of bravery, described in the 14th chapter of the “Judges”, was connected with the victory over a young frenzied lion. The lion, as part of the Swedish coat-of-arms, symbolized Sweden and its king Charles XII. The meaningful concurrencies, formed the basis of the monument’s figure decision. The three-meter rock, serves as a plinth of the sculptural group. By the powerful and calm movement, the hero stops the the leap of the animal, that is subsiding on its hind legs, and tears open its snarling jaws, from where, in powerless rage, a mighty twenty-meter water pillar spurts, like the last roar. The eight dolphins, symbolizing the calm seas, frolic around Samson, exulting together with the hero and spraying up the water spurts, that form a sparkling wreath.
The sculptural group, cast in lead according to the design of B.C. Rastrelli, and installed in the scoop in 1735, lost its gloss by the end of the XVIII century, because of the frailness of the lead. In 1802, it was replaced with a bronze sculpture, created by M.I. Kozlovsky, who has preserved the original ideological meaning and composition.
