About the Item

School of Giovanni Serodine (1594/1600, Ascona - 1630, Rome) Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well Oil on canvas 53 x 44 cm (with frame) ____________ In the New Testament, only the text of John (IV, 1-30) recounts the episode of the meeting of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. According to the tradition of orthodox Christianity, this woman is called Photine the Samaritan woman. When Jesus asked her for a drink while resting at a well on his way back to Galilee, the Samaritan woman was surprised that he, a Jew, dared to ask her for water: the Jews despised the Samaritans and did not speak to them. Jesus replies that the water she draws does not quench her thirst, but that the living water he gives gushes forth and that whoever drinks it will never thirst again. This famous gospel episode has been treated many times in stained glass art, in paintings and sculptures. Paintings adorning churches (and now museums) or statues often decorating public fountains: sometimes, even when they have disappeared, these sculptural works have left their names to the places where they were located (as is the case with the Samaritan shop or the Buzancy water feature). ___________ Giovanni Serodine (1600 – December 21, 1630) was a Swiss-Italian painter of the early Baroque period. Born to a family of stuccoists in Ascona in Canton Ticino (in present-day Switzerland), he gravitated while in Rome and there developed an idiosyncratic expression of Carravaggist style. His style has the loose brushstroke and luminosity of some of the northern Caravaggisti, such as Lys, Strozzi, and Fetti, who were active in Venice; however, some of Serodine's canvases show a provincial eccentricity, for example Coronation of the Virgin in Ascona. Baglione found in his art a great vivacity, although he noted Serodine appears to have made few friends and patrons in Rome. In his short mature career, he produced a handful of intensely emotional tenebrist canvases such as a Jesus among the Masters (Louvre); Jesus and the Tribute money (National Gallery of Scotland); Saint Lawrence distributing alms (painted for San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, now Convent of Valvisciolo in Sermoneta); Decapitation of Saint John the Baptist (San Lorenzo fuori le Mura); Saint Michael (originally San Pietro in Montorio) and Transfiguration of Christ (whereabouts unknown); Road to Emmaus and Sons of Zebedee (Ascona); Portrait of his father (Lugano); and Portrait of a Philosopher (Rancate).
