"La Samaritana al Pozzo" (The Samaritan Woman at the Well) is a notable painting by the Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci, created during the Baroque period. Born on August 1, 1659, in Belluno, Ricci was an influential painter known for his vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and a style that anticipated the Rococo movement. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, as told in the Gospel of John, chapter 4.

In this narrative, Jesus, weary from his journey, rests at a well in Samaria while his disciples go into the city to buy food. A Samaritan woman comes to draw water, and Jesus asks her for a drink, initiating a conversation that leads to a discussion about living water, worship, and the coming of the Messiah. The encounter is significant as it breaks with Jewish customs of the time, which discouraged interaction between Jews and Samaritans, and between men and women in public settings.

Ricci's interpretation of this scene is characterized by his masterful use of light and shadow, which highlights the interaction between the central figures of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. The artist's fluid brushwork and the lively expressions of the figures reflect the emotional depth of the encounter. The composition is balanced, with architectural and natural elements framing the central event, and the figures are rendered with a sense of movement and grace typical of Ricci's mature work.

The painting is an example of Ricci's religious works, which were highly sought after by patrons across Europe. His ability to convey complex theological themes through accessible and engaging imagery contributed to his reputation. "La Samaritana al Pozzo" not only serves as an illustration of a biblical episode but also as a reflection of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of human interaction and divine revelation.

The exact date of creation for "La Samaritana al Pozzo" is not well-documented, and the painting's provenance has varied over time.
