About the piece
Painted in 1717 by the Florentine master Benedetto Luti, this work illustrates the New Testament narrative of Christ and the Woman of Samaria. The choice of a copper support allows for a radiant, jewel-like finish, heightening the vibrant drapery of the figures and the soft, atmospheric light of the background architecture.
