EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound encounter between Christ and the Woman of Samaria, as depicted in "The History and Life of Our Blessed Lord". Created by Reverend J. Milner and engraved by William Hopwood in 1808, this powerful image captures a pivotal moment from the Gospel of St. John. In this scene, we witness Jesus engaging in conversation with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well. The woman, carrying a water jug on her shoulder, listens intently to Christ's teachings while he sits beside her. This interaction symbolizes compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance transcending societal boundaries. The composition beautifully portrays the contrasting characters: Jesus radiates divine wisdom and serenity while clad in flowing robes; his face emanating kindness and understanding. The Samaritan woman is depicted with humility yet curiosity as she gazes upon him attentively. Through this parable-like encounter, Christ offers spiritual nourishment akin to living water that quenches one's thirst for eternal life. It serves as a reminder that no matter our past mistakes or social status, we are all worthy of redemption through faith. This remarkable engraving not only captures an iconic biblical event but also reflects the timeless message of love and acceptance preached by Jesus Christ himself. Its historical significance combined with artistic brilliance makes it a cherished piece within private collections worldwide.
