EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts a pivotal moment from the New Testament as told in the Gospel of John. The Samaritan woman, a figure of mystery and intrigue, stands at the well, drawing water as Christ sits beside her, gesturing to the right. The anonymous artist, believed to have been influenced by Annibale Carracci's painting of the same scene from 1610, masterfully captures the essence of this biblical encounter. The Samaritan woman, a woman of Samaria, was an outcast in her community due to her multiple marriages. Jesus, ever the compassionate and understanding savior, engages her in a profound conversation about the living water, ultimately leading her to a deeper understanding of God's love. The black and white etching showcases the intricate details of the scene, from the folds in the robes of the figures to the textures of the landscape. The contrast between the dark and light areas adds depth and dimension to the image, drawing the viewer in to witness this powerful moment in Christian history. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of art and the enduring impact of religious themes on artistic expression. The figures of the Samaritan woman and Christ are timeless, their story continuing to resonate with audiences centuries later.
