EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated manuscript page comes from the Codex of Predis, a 15th-century Catholic religious text, now housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy. The scene depicted is the encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman at the well of Sychar in Samaria, as recorded in the Gospel of John (4:5-42). The Samaritan woman, intrigued by Jesus' request for a drink, engages him in a theological discussion, leading to her conversion and the spread of the Christian faith in Samaria. The miniature painting, executed in the late Mediaeval or early Renaissance style, showcases the masterful artistry of the anonymous artist, Cristoforo Predis. Jesus is depicted in the center, clad in a blue robe and red cloak, with a serene expression on his face. He is engaged in a deep conversation with the Samaritan woman, who is shown with a veiled head and a pitcher on her shoulder. The background is adorned with lush greenery, and the well is surrounded by trees and buildings, adding to the idyllic setting of the scene. The Codex of Predis is a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance periods. This magnificent work of art continues to inspire awe and reverence, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the transformative impact of a single conversation.
