EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Hodler's masterpiece, "The Good Samaritan" painted in 1886. The oil on canvas painting depicts the biblical parable of a kind-hearted stranger who aids an injured man lying by the roadside. Hodler's artistic brilliance is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. The composition draws viewers into the scene, where they can witness the compassion and empathy radiating from the Samaritan's face as he tends to the wounded man. The artist masterfully captures both vulnerability and strength through his portrayal of the injured body, which lies exposed and naked on the ground. This choice emphasizes not only physical suffering but also highlights themes of human connection, kindness, and selflessness. "The Good Samaritan" serves as a powerful reminder that acts of compassion transcend societal boundaries or personal differences. It encourages us to look beyond our own concerns and extend help to those in need. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Hodler's exceptional talent up close while preserving this significant piece for generations to come. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for goodness and inspired to emulate such acts of kindness in our own lives.
