"Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman) is a woodcut by Lucas van Leyden, created around 1530. It depicts the biblical story of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well. The scene is set in a landscape with a well, a city in the distance, and a group of people observing the encounter. Van Leyden uses bold lines and bright colors to create a vivid and expressive scene. The artwork is characteristic of his work, which is known for its detailed and naturalistic representations of figures and landscapes. This print was likely part of a larger series depicting scenes from the Gospels, demonstrating Van Leyden's mastery of printmaking and his devotion to religious subjects.
