Christ and the Woman of Samaria (Gentileschi)

Christ and the Woman of Samaria is a 1637 oil painting on canvas by the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, depicting a story from the New Testament.

It was part of a private collection in Palermo,[1] and is now in the public Palazzo Blu in Pisa.

[3] The vibrant colors of the figures' clothes and the detailed landscape became associated with the work she produced during this period in Naples.

[3] Correspondence from Gentileschi indicates that she was trying to sell two paintings to Cardinal Francesco Barberini in 1637, one of which was a Woman of Samaria.

[4] This work was recently discovered in a private collection and identified at that painting.
