Painting Description
"Christ and the Samaritan Woman" (Italian: "Cristo e la Samaritana") is a notable engraving by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Campagnola, created around 1500-1509. The work is a fine example of the chiaroscuro technique, which Campagnola is credited with pioneering in the medium of engraving. This technique involves the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.
The engraving depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John (4:1–26), 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 significant as it breaks with Jewish customs of the time, which discouraged interaction between Jews and Samaritans, and also between men and women in public settings.
Campagnola's rendition of the scene is noted for its delicate handling of the landscape and figures, as well as its subtle gradations of tone. The composition is balanced, with Jesus and the Samaritan woman positioned near the center, surrounded by a pastoral landscape that reflects the influence of Campagnola's master, Albrecht Dürer, and the Venetian artistic environment in which he worked.
The engraving is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an example of early printmaking techniques. It is housed in several major museum collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Renaissance art and the development of engraving as an art form. "Christ and the Samaritan Woman" remains an important work for understanding the evolution of printmaking in the Renaissance and the dissemination of religious and cultural narratives through art.
