The Woman Of Samaria

 One last painting today from the Baroque Room. This is Christ And The Woman Of Samaria, by Guercino, dating to 1647.


Emerging back into the main path of the galleries, I took in this one. Giovan Antonio Caravaggi is a portrait by Giovanni Cariani, dating circa 1520-30.


Daniele Barbaro is the title of this 1545 portrait by Titian.


Alessandro Vittoria created this terracotta sculpture between 1570-76. It is titled Giulio Contarini.


Portrait Of A Young Lady is the title of this painting by Bartolomeo Veneto, done circa 1520-30.


Francisco Salviati painted The Virgin And Child With An Angel, circa 1535-39.

  8. I don’t find biblical paintings very inspiring. BTW on the thumbnail version of the first photo, I thought Jesus might be smoking. 😀

  21. @Anvilcloud: I can relate. However, of the many religious paintings in the gallery's collection, that particular first one is my favourite.

    @Jan: it certainly is a work of art.

    @Magiceye: I think so too.

    @RedPat: as I recall, it's had some extensive conservation work done, as well as research about its background.

    @Catarina: me neither, but where would they fit?

    @Sharon: a question lost to history.

    @Marie: they would have been.
