EDITORS COMMENTS
The Good Samaritan (St. Luke, Chap. 10, verse 30), February 24,1772 captures a powerful moment of compassion and kindness in the midst of an eighteenth-century landscape. This engraving by Simon Francois Ravenet depicts the iconic biblical parable where a man is left injured on the roadside. In this scene, we see a wounded traveler lying by a pool with his horse nearby. A dog stands faithfully beside him, licking his wounds as if offering solace and comfort. The image beautifully portrays the concept of caring for others in times of need. The artist William Hogarth's masterful composition brings to life the essence of humanity's duty to help one another. The attention to detail in every stroke showcases the skillful technique employed during this era. As we gaze upon this historical print, it serves as a reminder that acts of kindness transcend time and culture. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people understood the importance of lending a helping hand to those who are suffering. Simon Francois Ravenet's etching immortalizes this timeless message through his artistic vision. It invites us to reflect on our own capacity for empathy and encourages us to be like the Good Samaritan depicted here - willing to go out of our way to assist those in distress. This piece from Heritage Art not only preserves an important part of our heritage but also inspires us all to be compassionate individuals who make a positive difference in society.
