Cristo E La Samaritana, also known as "Christ and the Samaritan Woman," is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, who lived from 1609 to 1664. Castiglione, also known as Il Grechetto, was renowned for his dynamic compositions and masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This painting exemplifies his skill in capturing complex biblical narratives with emotional depth and dramatic intensity.

The subject of the painting is derived from the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, which recounts the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. This narrative is significant in Christian theology as it highlights themes of redemption, the breaking of social barriers, and the universal offer of salvation. Castiglione's interpretation of this scene is marked by his ability to convey the profound spiritual exchange between Christ and the woman, emphasizing their expressions and gestures to communicate the transformative nature of their dialogue.

In "Cristo E La Samaritana," Castiglione employs his characteristic style, blending the influences of Venetian colorism and the dramatic realism of Caravaggio. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures of Christ and the Samaritan woman centrally placed, drawing the viewer's eye to their interaction. The use of light in the painting not only illuminates the central figures but also enhances the texture and detail of the surrounding environment, creating a vivid and immersive scene.

This work is a testament to Castiglione's versatility and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a sense of immediacy and human emotion. "Cristo E La Samaritana" remains an important example of Baroque religious art, reflecting the era's artistic innovations and its enduring fascination with biblical themes.
