EDITORS COMMENTS
The Woman of Samaria, c1595, is a captivating engraving by the Dutch artist Jan Saenredam, showcased in his series "Famous Women of the New Testament." This exquisite work of art from the Baroque era, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, transports us back to the 16th century. The central figure is the Samaritan woman, a character from the Gospel of John, who engages in a profound conversation with Jesus at Jacob's Well. Saenredam masterfully captures her intriguing demeanor, with her piercing gaze and a hint of a mysterious smile playing on her lips. Her attire is adorned with traditional elements of the time, including a voluminous headdress, earrings, and a necklace. The most striking detail in this engraving is the serpent coiled around the well, symbolizing the Old Testament prophecy of salvation through Christ. The Woman of Samaria, with her reptile earrings and the serpent in the background, highlights the biblical connection between the Old and New Testaments. Jan Saenredam's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey depth and emotion through his engravings make The Woman of Samaria a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the Baroque era. This image continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of religious art.
