"Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is a significant religious painting by the Anglo-American artist Benjamin West, who was a prominent historical painter of the late 18th century. Created in 1776, this artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, where Jesus, while traveling through Samaria, encounters a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and engages in a profound theological conversation with her. This encounter is notable for its exploration of social and religious boundaries, as Jews typically avoided Samaritans, and for Jesus' revelation to the woman that he is the Messiah.

The painting is a testament to West's skill in blending the grandeur of history painting with the emotional and narrative clarity characteristic of his work. West, who was the second president of the Royal Academy in London, was known for his innovative approach to biblical subjects, often choosing to depict them in contemporary dress to make the scenes more relatable to his audience. However, in "Christ and the Woman of Samaria," West adheres to the traditional representation of biblical figures in classical attire, emphasizing the timeless nature of the scene.

Measuring at a significant size, the painting is a dramatic and yet intimate portrayal of the encounter. The composition focuses on the interaction between Christ and the Samaritan woman, using light and shadow to highlight their expressions and the emotional resonance of their dialogue. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was characteristic of West's style, and the landscape in the background provides a context for the narrative while also demonstrating West's attention to the details of nature.

"Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is an important work within West's oeuvre and is reflective of the religious and moral themes that were central to his artistic pursuits. It is held in high regard for its artistic merit and for its thoughtful representation of a key New Testament story that addresses issues of social division, redemption, and divine revelation. The painting is part of the collection of the Denver Art Museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and its contribution to the development of religious art in the Anglo-American tradition.
