EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alessandro Magnasco's masterpiece, "Christ and the Samaritan Woman" painted between 1705-10. Measuring at an impressive 144.8x109.2 cm, this oil on canvas artwork is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The painting depicts a significant biblical moment when Jesus paused to rest at Jacobs Well, a sacred site for both Jews and Samaritans. Thirsty from his journey, he humbly requested water from a Samaritan woman who had come to draw water from the well. Magnasco's exquisite attention to detail brings this scene to life as pillars and columns frame the figures of Christ and the woman against a backdrop of ruins reminiscent of ancient Italy. The artist skillfully captures their interaction, emphasizing their contrasting backgrounds while highlighting their shared humanity. With its classical influences and rococo style, this painting beautifully combines religious symbolism with architectural elements that transport viewers back in time. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's message of love and acceptance across cultural boundaries. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance of Magnasco's work in this high-quality photo print, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and significance without any commercial use intentions.
