EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le bon samaritain - The Parable of the Good Samaritan" by Francesco Bassano, the Younger. Painted around 1575, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 73x98.4 cm and is housed in the Art History Museum in Vienna. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. In this scene, a traveler has been brutally attacked and left injured on the side of a road. Passersby ignore his plight until a compassionate Samaritan stops to help him. Bassano's skillful brushwork brings this moral tale to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The landscape surrounding the characters adds depth to their actions, emphasizing themes of solidarity, generosity, and justice. The composition also includes various symbolic elements such as a donkey representing humility and patience, while a loyal dog stands guard nearby. A bottle symbolizes healing or medicinal aid for the wounded man. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of our duty to care for one another regardless of social or cultural differences. It encourages viewers to reflect on acts of kindness that can transform lives and promote harmony within society. Francesco Bassano's portrayal captures both the physical aspects of rescue and treatment but also delves into deeper spiritual dimensions inherent in this timeless parable.
