EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Domenico Fetti's masterpiece, "The Good Samaritan" created between 1618 and 1622. The Italian artist beautifully captures the essence of this biblical parable in vivid colors on wood using oil painting techniques. In this scene from Luke's Gospel, we witness a heartwarming act of compassion and kindness. A man lies wounded on the roadside while two passersby ignore his plight. However, it is the titular Good Samaritan who stops to offer aid and comfort. His benevolent nature shines through as he tends to the injured man with genuine care. Fetti skillfully portrays the characters' emotions and expressions, allowing us to connect deeply with their humanity. The composition draws our attention not only to the central figures but also to a mule standing nearby, symbolizing both travel and animal companionship. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of Christianity's core values: love thy neighbor as thyself and extend help without prejudice or expectation. Fetti's work serves as a timeless reminder that acts of kindness can bridge divides and heal wounds. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this piece stands as a testament to Fetti's artistic prowess and his ability to capture profound moments from religious narratives. It invites viewers into an introspective journey where they can reflect upon their own capacity for empathy and generosity towards others along life's winding roads.
