Woman Of Samaria

 One last painting before departing from the Baroque Room. Christ And The Woman Of Samaria is a 1647 painting by Guercino.


Here we have a darker sort of subject: The Death Of Sapphira dates to 1599-1603, and is by Christoforo Roncalli.


Rubens painted Head Of An Old Woman around 1615, as reference for other paintings.


The Entombment is by Rubens, circa 1612-14.


And this is Stormy Landscape by Rubens, dating to 1635-36


I close out today with this work by Anthony Van Dyck, titled Let The Children Come To Me, dating back to 1618-20.

    I find these old paintings rather depressive, but it's good that they exist, just to know how people were dressed at that time !

    Rubens Head of an Old Woman is a typical Rubens.

    I like the old woman, but the scenes don’t do it for me.

    It is amazing that these paintings have lasted so long. I guess they were in homes of high society.

    I sort of find them disturbing, being a lapsed church goer. Such harm done in the name of religion. sorry. I shouldn't be so negative. Too much time on Twitter!
