Painting Description
"Parable of the Good Samaritan" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Fetti, dated to around 1623. The painting illustrates the biblical story of the Good Samaritan, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke (10:25–37), which emphasizes the themes of compassion and mercy. Fetti's interpretation of this parable is notable for its vivid storytelling and emotional resonance, reflecting the Baroque era's emphasis on drama and naturalism.
The artwork depicts the moment when the Samaritan tends to the wounds of the injured traveler, who had been ignored by a priest and a Levite. Fetti's composition is characterized by dynamic figures and a strong use of chiaroscuro, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene and focuses the viewer's attention on the central act of kindness. The painting's palette is rich, with warm earth tones that underscore the humanity of the subject.
Domenico Fetti, who was active during the early Baroque period, is known for his expressive and colorful style, and "Parable of the Good Samaritan" is considered one of his masterpieces. The work reflects the influence of his Venetian training, as well as the impact of his time in Rome, where he was exposed to the works of Caravaggio and his followers.
"Parable of the Good Samaritan" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and religious implications. It serves as a visual exegesis of the biblical text, offering viewers a chance to engage with the moral and spiritual lessons of the story. The painting has been studied for its iconography, narrative technique, and its place within the broader context of Baroque art.
The painting is held in a prominent public collection, allowing for continued appreciation and scholarly examination. It remains an important example of Fetti's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring power of visual art to convey complex human and divine narratives.
