Oil on the table
37 x 27 cm., In frame 52 x 42 cm.
The subject illustrated in this refined painting is taken from the Gospel of John (4: 6-10), where it is told of Jesus who, tired from the journey to Galilee, asked a Samaritan woman, notoriously averse to a Jew, to offer him a drink there. 'water from Jacob's well, promising her in return' a water capable of quenching her thirst for eternity '.
The theme (one of the most frequently used in Counter-Reformation Christian art) celebrated the main concepts of the Council of Trent: the encounter with the Samaritan woman has the symbolic meaning of the innovation brought by Christ who offers the good news even to those who are not considered pure Jew. Even the place of the event, rather unusual and certainly not religious, according to biblical tradition, was rich in meanings and historical salvific evocations.
The scene takes place within a landscape depicting, according to the New Testament tale, the city of Sicar, the place where the Samaritan woman will arrive to announce the coming of the new Messiah.
A strong Flemish influence can be glimpsed in these compositions, very likely for Venetian artists given the massive presence in the lagoon city during the sixteenth century of artists from Flanders and the Netherlands, whose art made of a strong culture for minute details comes here combined with the Venetian colorism and the plastic turning of the typical figures of the art of central-northern Italy of those years.
In particular, we are inclined to attribute the work to Ludovico Pozzoserrato, Italianization of Lodewyk Toeput (Antwerp, about 1550 - Treviso, 1605).
Originally from Antwerp, he arrived in Venice around 1582, with short stays also in Florence and Rome. The pictorial value of him is well highlighted by the critical and commercial fortune reached early in the lagoon city, facilitated by a talent capable of adapting his Nordic training to the Venetian landscape, reaching a synthesis of rare skill and sensitivity. We can also say that Ludovico was able to grasp the 'international' character of the elegant and cultured mannerism of Jacopo Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese, who will find in him a very talented interlocutor.
The conservation conditions of the work appear very good.
The painting is sold together with a nice golden frame.

- Christ Jesus Lama Religious Paint Oil on canvas 17/18 th Century Old masterLocated in Riva del Garda, ITGiovan Battista Lama (Naples, 1673 - 1748) workshop Exaltation of the Holy Cross with the Symbols of the Passion oil on canvas 84 x 135 cm. - with frame 98 x 148 cm. The proposed painting is the work of a Neapolitan painter active at the beginning of the 18th century, although the composition betrays the influence of the Roman classicism prevailing at the end of the 17th century, discernible in the serene and casual atmosphere. This is a very interesting subject, namely the Exaltation of the Cross, a particular feast in Christian theology, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus with the particular aim of emphasising the centrality of the mystery of the cross. We see precisely Jesus, bowed in prayer in the company of an angel, while a host of angels above hold the most relevant symbols of his Passion (in Latin, arma Christi), namely the objects that were used for the crucifixion. These include, of course, the cross held by the major angel, and then the nails (three or four), the crown of thorns the lance with which Jesus was pierced, Veronica's veil (the linen cloth that St Veronica...Category
