"Cristo e la Samaritana" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman) is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, created circa 1595. This artwork is a significant example of Carracci's mastery in blending the naturalistic approach of the High Renaissance with the dynamic energy of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the biblical story from the Gospel of John (4:1–26), where Jesus, while traveling through Samaria, converses with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, breaking the contemporary Jewish convention by speaking to a woman and a Samaritan.

Annibale Carracci, born in Bologna in 1560, was a pivotal figure in the transition from the Mannerist style to Baroque. He, along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, founded the Accademia degli Incamminati, which played a crucial role in the development of the Baroque style in Italy. Carracci's work is characterized by its use of light, vivid realism, and emotional depth, qualities that are all evident in "Cristo e la Samaritana."

The painting is celebrated for its depiction of the figures with dignity and grace, set against a landscape that enhances the narrative's spiritual and emotional dimensions. Carracci's use of color and light brings a warmth and immediacy to the scene, inviting viewers to engage with the story on a personal level. The composition's balance and harmony reflect Carracci's study of the masters of the High Renaissance, particularly Raphael, while the expressive figures hint at the emerging Baroque sensibility.

"Cristo e la Samaritana" not only exemplifies Carracci's skill and versatility as a painter but also serves as a testament to the artist's profound impact on the development of Italian art. The painting is housed in the Museum of Capodimonte, Naples, Italy, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. Through this work, Annibale Carracci has left an enduring legacy, bridging the gap between the Renaissance and Baroque periods and influencing generations of artists to come.
