EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" by Adriaen Collaert, a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. The engraving depicts a powerful scene from the Gospel of Luke in which a Jewish man is left wounded on a desolate road while two religious figures, a Levite and a priest, pass him by without offering any assistance. However, it is the unexpected heroism of the Samaritan that takes center stage in this biblical narrative. Set against rolling hillsides and an idyllic landscape, this artwork beautifully captures both the physical journey and spiritual message conveyed through Collaert's intricate engravings. The attention to detail in every line and curve brings life to each character portrayed within this timeless masterpiece. "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" serves as an enduring symbol of compassion and selflessness across different cultures and religions. It reminds us all to look beyond our differences and extend help to those in need, regardless of social or cultural barriers. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this print not only represents an important piece of Christian heritage art but also stands as a testament to Collaert's artistic prowess during the Baroque era. Its decorative border adds an extra layer of elegance to this thought-provoking illustration. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, may it inspire us to be like that compassionate Samaritan - always ready to lend a helping hand along life's winding roads.
