12548 Cornelis Cort (1533–1578), after Federico Zuccaro – Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well – Engraving (1568)
"Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well" This work provides a sophisticated representation of the biblical encounter at Jacob's Well, featuring the seated figure of Christ engaged in theological dialogue with a woman holding a water vessel. The engraving was published in Venice, where Cornelis Cort established himself as one of the most influential printmakers of the 16th century. This plate is distinguished by its expansive landscape background featuring a distant castle and small figures of the disciples, reflecting the high technical standards of the Antwerp school of engraving applied to Italian design.
Cornelis Cort was a master Flemish engraver who spent much of his career in Italy, particularly in Venice and Rome. He was renowned for his technical innovations, which allowed him to translate the tonal variations and complex compositions of major Renaissance painters into the medium of print with unprecedented clarity. He worked closely with artists such as Titian and Federico Zuccaro, playing a pivotal role in the international dissemination of their styles. His work established a new standard for reproductive engraving and influenced generations of printmakers across Europe.
