Description: | The encounter between Christ and the Samaritan woman appears in St John's Gospel (John 4. 4-42). Interrupted in her task of drawing water from the Well of Jacob on the outskirts of her town, the woman paused and listened to Christ's words concerning the 'living water' that would satiate everyone's thirst. The words prompted the woman declare him a prophet. In this picture, the dress and hair-style of the Samaritan woman recall late sixteenth-century Venetian fashions. | Subjects: | religion (Samaritan woman Christ) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Venetian) School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8987... | Go to resource |
