Painting Description
"The Samaritan Woman" is a renowned painting by the Russian artist Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov, completed in 1888. This work is part of Polenov's series of biblical-themed paintings, which he embarked upon after a trip to the Middle East in the late 19th century. The painting depicts the New Testament story of Jesus's encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well, as described in the Gospel of John, chapter 4.
In this narrative, Jesus, weary from his journey, rests at the well while his disciples have gone to buy food. A Samaritan woman comes to draw water, and Jesus asks her for a drink, leading to a profound conversation about worship and the coming of the Messiah. Polenov's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its humanistic approach, emphasizing the moment of spiritual awakening and the interaction between the divine and the mundane.
The composition of "The Samaritan Woman" is notable for its serene landscape, which reflects Polenov's skill as a landscape painter and his attention to the natural environment of the Holy Land. The figures are rendered with sensitivity and grace, capturing the psychological intensity of the encounter. Polenov's use of light and color enhances the painting's spiritual and emotional depth, making it a significant example of Russian religious art from the late 19th century.
Housed in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, "The Samaritan Woman" is regarded as one of Polenov's masterpieces and a key work in the development of Russian realistic painting. It continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its thoughtful portrayal of a pivotal biblical event.
