"Cristo e la Samaritana" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman) is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Orazio Samacchini, created in the 16th century. Samacchini, born in Bologna in 1532 and active during the late Renaissance period, was recognized for his religious and mythological scenes that often featured elegant figures and a harmonious use of color.

The painting depicts the biblical story of Jesus's encounter with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well, as recounted in the Gospel of John, chapter 4. This narrative highlights themes of social and spiritual acceptance, as Jesus, a Jew, engages in conversation with a woman of Samaria, breaking with the cultural norms of the time. The story is significant in Christian theology for its discussion of living water and the revelation of Jesus's identity as the Messiah.

In "Cristo e la Samaritana," Samacchini captures the moment of interaction between Christ and the woman with a focus on their expressions and gestures, conveying the depth of the conversation and the woman's realization of Jesus's true nature. The artist's use of light, color, and composition reflects the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and an emphasis on elegance and artifice over the more naturalistic approach of the High Renaissance.

The painting is an example of Samacchini's religious works, which were highly sought after during his lifetime by patrons seeking to adorn churches and private chapels. His contribution to the art of the period is significant, as it represents the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist style, which would eventually give way to the Baroque era.

"Cristo e la Samaritana" is not only an important work in Orazio Samacchini's oeuvre but also serves as an illustration of the cultural and artistic dialogues of the 16th century, reflecting the religious narratives and aesthetic preferences of the time. The painting is appreciated for its artistic merit and as a historical artifact that offers insight into the period's religious and social contexts.
