"Der Barmherzige Samariter" (The Good Samaritan) is a painting by the German Expressionist artist August Macke, created in 1913. This work is a representation of the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, found in the Gospel of Luke, which tells the story of a Samaritan man who helps a traveler who has been beaten and left on the side of the road, while others pass by without assisting. Macke's interpretation of this scene is notable for its vibrant color palette and stylized figures, characteristic of his work during this period.

August Macke was a member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group of artists based in Munich that contributed significantly to the development of Expressionism in Germany. His work is known for its bright, harmonious colors and the synthesis of different influences, including French Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. "Der Barmherzige Samariter" reflects Macke's interest in depicting scenes of everyday life infused with spiritual and moral themes.

The painting is executed in a style that combines the flatness and bold outlines of stained glass with the dynamic forms of Cubism, creating a sense of rhythm and movement within the composition. The use of color in "Der Barmherzige Samariter" is particularly striking, with contrasting hues that enhance the emotional impact of the scene and underscore the themes of compassion and humanity central to the parable.

"Der Barmherzige Samariter" is part of Macke's oeuvre that was tragically cut short when he was killed in action during World War I in 1914, at the age of 27. Despite his brief career, Macke left behind a substantial body of work that continues to be celebrated for its innovation and beauty. This painting remains an important example of his artistic legacy and a testament to his unique vision within the Expressionist movement.
