"Cristo e la Samaritana" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman) is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano, created in the latter part of the 17th century. This artwork depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (4:1–26), where Jesus, while traveling through Samaria, encounters a woman at Jacob's well and engages in a profound theological conversation with her, revealing his identity as the Messiah. Giordano's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its dynamic composition, vibrant color palette, and the emotional depth with which he portrays the figures.

Born in Naples in 1634, Luca Giordano was a prolific painter whose style was influenced by the naturalism of Ribera, the colorism of Peter Paul Rubens, and the monumental forms of Paolo Veronese. He was known for his speed of execution, which earned him the nickname "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly). Giordano's work is characterized by its dramatic lighting, fluid brushwork, and a keen sense of movement, all of which are evident in "Cristo e la Samaritana."

In the painting, Giordano captures the moment of spiritual awakening as the Samaritan woman listens intently to Christ. The figures are set against a landscape that recedes into the background, allowing the interaction between Jesus and the woman to take center stage. The artist's use of chiaroscuro—strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds a theatrical quality to the scene.

"Cristo e la Samaritana" is a testament to Giordano's mastery of Baroque painting and his ability to convey complex narratives through art. The painting is housed in a notable art collection, although the specific location may vary as works of this period are often part of traveling exhibitions or held in private collections. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its rich interpretation of a key New Testament story.
