"Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is a notable painting by the French classical artist Nicolas Poussin. Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies Poussin's mastery in depicting biblical narratives with a focus on clarity, order, and the ideals of classical antiquity. The painting illustrates the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, a story from the Gospel of John (4:5–26) in the New Testament.

In the narrative, Jesus, weary from his journey, rests at the well while his disciples have gone to buy food. He engages in a profound conversation with a woman who has come to draw water, revealing his knowledge of her personal life and discussing living water, a metaphor for spiritual nourishment and eternal life. This encounter breaks with Jewish customs of the time, as Jews typically avoided interactions with Samaritans and men did not freely speak with women in public.

Poussin's rendition of this scene is characterized by its serene and harmonious composition, reflecting his interest in the ideals of the High Renaissance and the influence of classical art. The figures are arranged in a calm, balanced manner, and the landscape in the background often features elements of an idealized classical setting. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow serves to highlight the central figures and underscore the significance of the moment.

As with many of Poussin's works, "Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is notable for its intellectual depth and the artist's ability to convey complex theological and philosophical ideas through visual art. Poussin's treatment of this subject matter is a testament to his skill in merging the human experience with the divine, creating a work that is both a visual delight and a subject for contemplation.

The painting is part of Poussin's broader oeuvre, which has had a significant impact on the development of French painting and the classical tradition in European art. "Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is held in high esteem by art historians and critics and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. It remains an important example of Poussin's contribution to the narrative genre in painting and his enduring legacy as a leading figure of 17th-century French art.
