Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw bij de bron 1575 - 1581

This engraving by Philips Galle, titled "Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw bij de bron," depicts the biblical story of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well. The scene, created between 1575 and 1581, shows Jesus seated near the well, reaching out his hand towards the woman as she carries a water jug. The scene includes a group of figures in the background, perhaps representing the disciples who have gone into the town to buy food. Galle, a prolific printmaker, was known for his meticulous detail and clear lines. The engraving is a testament to his talent, capturing the moment of Jesus' encounter with the woman and serving as a visual meditation on the parable of the Samaritan woman.
