The Good Samaritan (Le bon samaritain)
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alphonse Legros is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of compassion and humanity. Created in the 19th century, this artwork showcases Legros' mastery of etching and drypoint techniques. The scene depicted in this print is inspired by the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, where a man selflessly helps another in need. In this image, we see two individuals on a country road, with one man kneeling down to tend to an injured traveler while his horse patiently waits nearby. Legros' attention to detail brings forth a sense of realism that is both striking and thought-provoking. The expressions on the faces of these men convey empathy and concern, reminding us of our shared responsibility towards one another. This artwork not only reflects Legros' artistic brilliance but also serves as a powerful reminder of the values upheld by Christianity. It symbolizes kindness, selflessness, and love for our fellow human beings – timeless virtues that transcend time and place. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "The Good Samaritan" continues to inspire viewers with its profound message. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded that acts of compassion have no boundaries; they can be found along any roadside or within any heart willing to lend a helping hand.
