"Christ and the Canaanite Woman" is a 15th-century miniature painting by Jean Colombe, a French manuscript illuminator known for his detailed and colorful work. The painting is an illustration of the biblical story from the Gospel of Matthew (15:21-28), in which Jesus encounters a Canaanite woman who pleads with him to cure her demon-possessed daughter. Despite initially rebuffing her by saying that he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, Jesus is moved by her faith and grants her request.

Colombe's rendition of this scene is notable for its intricate detail and rich color palette, characteristic of the late Gothic period's International Gothic style. The miniature likely served as an illustration in a luxurious illuminated manuscript, possibly a Book of Hours or a Bible, which were common commissions for artists of Colombe's caliber during this time.

Jean Colombe, active from around 1463 to 1498, is best known for his contribution to the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, which he completed after the original Limbourg brothers' work was left unfinished due to their untimely deaths. His work on "Christ and the Canaanite Woman" exemplifies his skill in conveying complex narratives within the confines of a small-scale composition, a testament to his mastery of the art of illumination.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, reflecting the religious and social values of late 15th-century France. It provides insight into the devotional practices of the time, as well as the aesthetic preferences and technical prowess of one of the period's most accomplished manuscript illuminators.
