Object history

Inventoried as "La Samaritana" in the 1505 auction of Queen Isabella I of Castile's estate in Toro, the painting was acquired by Diego Fernández de Córdoba, the warden of the Donceles. After his death in 1518, the whereabouts of the painting were unknown until it was documented in Paris, within the Warneck collection. It was later put up for sale at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris on 27-28 May 1926. Since that date, the painting has been part of the collection at the Musée du Louvre.

Description

This painting is part of the Polyptych of Isabella I of Castile, which originally consisted of forty-seven small-format panels. It depicts the encounter between Christ and the Samaritan woman, who engage in conversation. Both figures are positioned around the well, where the Samaritan woman has come with a pitcher. Juan de Flandes' Flemish training is evident in the meticulous detail of the landscape.

Locations
* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
