Christ and the Woman of Samaria
1644 | Lorenzo Lippi
Lorenzo Lippi − painter, poet, intellectual – was called to the court in Innsbruck in 1643–44 by Claudia de’ Medici, who following the death of her husband, Archduke Leopold V, was ruling Tyrol until her son attained his maturity. There, along with numerous portraits, he painted this scene from the Gospel (John 4:1−25). It clearly displays the features characteristic of Lippi’s style − clarity and precision of drawing, a sobriety illuminated with bright light and a sense for decorative detail.
