"The Samaritan Woman at the Well" is a notable artwork by the Italian Baroque painter Agostino Carracci, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. Agostino Carracci, a member of the prolific Carracci family of artists, which included his more famous brother Annibale and cousin Ludovico, was a significant figure in the transition from Mannerism to the Baroque style of painting. This painting depicts the biblical story of Jesus's encounter with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well, as described in the Gospel of John, chapter 4.

In the narrative, Jesus, weary from his journey, rests at the well and asks the Samaritan woman for a drink of water. This interaction breaks with the social norms of the time, as Jews typically avoided Samaritans, and men did not speak publicly with women to whom they were not related. The conversation that ensues leads to a discussion about living water and eternal life, with Jesus revealing his identity as the Messiah to the woman.

Carracci's interpretation of this scene is characterized by his attention to the human form, clear composition, and the emotional engagement of the figures. The painting is a fine example of Carracci's skill in blending naturalism with the emerging Baroque sensibility, emphasizing dramatic effect and the play of light and shadow to enhance the storytelling.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, it is generally attributed to the period when Agostino was active in Bologna and Rome, where he, along with his brother and cousin, was instrumental in establishing the Accademia degli Incamminati. This academy played a crucial role in promoting the Baroque aesthetic that would come to dominate European art.

"The Samaritan Woman at the Well" by Agostino Carracci is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an example of the artist's mature work. It remains an important piece for the study of the Carracci family's impact on the development of Baroque painting and for its interpretation of a pivotal New Testament episode. The painting is also significant for its exploration of themes such as grace, redemption, and the breaking of social barriers, which resonate beyond its religious context.
