The Parable of the Good Samaritan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by the enigmatic Master of the Prodigal Son, a Netherlandish artist who flourished between 1530 and 1560. This biblical masterpiece measures an impressive 93.3x124.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke, where a man lies injured on the outskirts while passersby ignore his suffering. However, it is the titular Good Samaritan who breaks this cycle of indifference, kneeling beside the wounded man with compassion and offering assistance. The composition showcases exquisite attention to detail as each figure conveys their role in this parable through subtle gestures and expressions. The Samaritan's act of kindness stands out against the backdrop of negative concepts such as agony and bystander apathy. The artist skillfully captures both human emotion and natural elements within this mid-16th century work. A donkey grazes nearby, symbolizing humility, while trees frame the scene with their majestic presence. "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" serves as a poignant reminder that goodness can be found even in unexpected places. Through its powerful imagery and timeless message, this Dutch masterpiece continues to inspire viewers to extend helping hands towards those in need. (Photo credit: Bridgeman Images)
