Christ and the Woman of Samaria is a 1523 by Dirck Vellert, a Renaissance work, depicting South Lowland, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two figures by a well. One person, dressed in flowing robes, leans on the well’s edge, while the other reaches into a large barrel. The scene is detailed with textures—fabric folds, a chain on the well, and a small pitcher on the ground. In the background, a town and trees add depth. The woman’s gesture toward the barrel suggests she’s offering or sharing something. The print’s date, 1523, is marked in the corner, hinting at its Renaissance roots. Next, look up Renaissance to see how this style shaped art and ideas.
