Beaten Caring Charity Flask Helping Parable Rescue Rescuer Wounds
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Good Samaritan" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Jacopo Bassano in the late 16th century. The artwork measures 101.5x79.4 cm and is housed at the National Gallery in London, UK. In this powerful depiction, we witness a male figure embodying compassion and selflessness as he tends to a wounded traveler. With his long beard flowing, the rescuer kneels beside the injured man, offering him aid and solace while two loyal dogs stand guard nearby. Set against a stunning landscape backdrop with an intricately detailed cityscape in the distance, this masterpiece captures both physical and emotional elements of care and charity. Inspired by the parable from the New Testament, it serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's capacity for kindness. The composition skillfully portrays not only the vulnerability of those who have been beaten but also highlights how one person's actions can make all the difference in someone else's life. Through this painting, Bassano invites viewers to reflect upon their own role as potential good Samaritans within their communities. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "The Good Samaritan" continues to inspire audiences today with its message of empathy and assistance towards others in need.
