EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "The Good Samaritan" captures the essence of a powerful biblical parable. Inspired by Luke chapter 10 verses 33-34, this print beautifully portrays the selfless act of compassion and kindness demonstrated by the Samaritan traveler. In this scene, we witness a moment frozen in time as the Samaritan encounters a wounded man on his journey. Filled with empathy and concern, he immediately tends to the injured stranger's wounds. With gentle hands and genuine care, he pours oil and wine onto his wounds to soothe his pain. Moved by an unwavering sense of duty towards humanity, the Samaritan goes above and beyond expectations. He lifts the wounded man onto his own beast of burden, ensuring that he receives proper care at an inn nearby. This depiction showcases not only physical assistance but also emotional support during times of vulnerability. Rendered through intricate engravings with remarkable attention to detail, this artwork exemplifies both artistic skill and religious devotion. The delicate lines bring life to each character's expression while capturing their emotions authentically. "The Good Samaritan" serves as a timeless reminder for all generations about the importance of empathy and compassion towards others regardless of differences or social standing. It reflects upon universal values that transcend time—values such as love thy neighbor unconditionally.
