Machine translation, like
DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 698 articles in the
main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Well, that's what they might put on the gallery label, but WP article titles, and references in art history books generally omit "the" in standard religious subjects. Mythological and unusual subjects are rather different. See eg
Category:Adoration of the Magi in art, where some have a "the" but really shouldn't.

Well, I wasn't thinking about Wp article titles, but mostly about the captions in this article's gallery, where one of these two paintings currently is "The return of ..." and the other is "Return of ...". --

Caravaggio's influence is apparent in this canvas Christ and the Woman of Samaria
Given that the Detroit Institute of Arts, to which this painting currently belongs, catalogues it as coming from the "workshop of Guercino"
[1], I'm provisionally moving it here (from the main text of the article). Discussion welcome.

Even if Guercino (possibly) had no hand in making it, but it's from his workshop, that's an aspect of his work worth representation. It shouldn't be under "Works", but could be shown in connection to mentioning the workshop. --

(
edit conflict) Ah, yes indeed. Thank you, John! My mistake. According to the Guercino expert David Stone, interviewed
here (obscured in Europe, but fully squintable
here via Google Translate and a hovering cursor :), there are at least six workshop (or similar) versions around. He would seem to consider the recent Kimbell acquisition to be the prime version, and that's what the museum clearly thinks. So I'll undo.

Best to replace it with prime version, if we have a pic, or choose another. Since workshop versions are generally very close to the prime, but a little less good, it isn't generally worth illustrating them in short articles, imo.

(sorry John, I should perhaps have outlined the details of my oversight a bit more fully :). Agree about prioritization of prime versions, and I also agree that the productivity of his workshop deserves some mention.
