The Good Samaritan, c1890, (c1930) by Edward Stott - A Timeless Depiction of Compassion and Humanity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a powerful moment from the biblical parable of The Good Samaritan. Created by the talented British artist Edward Stott in the late 19th century, this painting beautifully illustrates an act of kindness that transcends cultural boundaries. In this scene, we witness a wounded traveler who has been mercilessly attacked and abandoned on a desolate road. Stripped and left for dead, his vulnerability is palpable. However, against all odds, a Samaritan – traditionally despised by Jews – appears to offer aid. Stott's masterful use of color brings life to this timeless tale. The warm hues evoke compassion while contrasting with the stark reality of suffering. The injured man's pain is evident as he clings to life amidst his nakedness and injuries. The presence of a donkey symbolizes both practicality and humility as it carries the victim towards safety. This animal serves as a reminder that even in dire circumstances, there is always hope for salvation through acts of selflessness. Edward Stott skillfully captures the essence of human goodness in this thought-provoking artwork. It reminds us that true kindness knows no bounds or prejudices; it breaks down barriers between cultures and religions. Displayed at the Ferens Art Gallery in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, this painting continues to inspire viewers with its profound message today. It stands as a testament to our shared humanity and challenges us to embrace empathy and compassion towards one another.
