Painting Description
"Christ and the Woman of Samaria: An Arched Print" is a notable etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1658. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 70, Hind 294, and Biörklund and Barnard 57-B, is part of Rembrandt's extensive oeuvre of etchings that explore religious and biblical themes. The etching depicts the well-known New Testament 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 discussion with her, revealing his identity as the Messiah.
This particular print is distinguished by its arched top, which frames the intimate scene and gives it a sense of immediacy and focus. Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way he uses the etching medium to convey the spiritual illumination that the woman experiences upon speaking with Christ. The artist's delicate handling of the etching needle allows for a rich variety of tones, from the deep blacks of the well and the figures' garments to the soft, suggestive lines that model their faces and hands.
The composition is balanced and harmonious, with Christ positioned at the center, serving as the spiritual and visual anchor of the scene. The Samaritan woman, depicted in a moment of revelation and contemplation, is an embodiment of the transformative power of faith and understanding. Rembrandt's etching captures the psychological depth of the encounter, emphasizing the human emotions and the subtle exchange between the divine and the mortal.
"Christ and the Woman of Samaria: An Arched Print" is a testament to Rembrandt's skill as an etcher and his profound engagement with biblical narratives. It reflects the artist's interest in the human condition, his empathy for his subjects, and his ability to render scenes of spiritual significance with great artistic sensitivity. The work remains an important piece within Rembrandt's graphic oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of this biblical episode.
