Le Bon Samaritain, also known as The Good Samaritan, is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Battista Langetti. Langetti, born in Genoa in 1635, was a prominent figure in the Venetian school of painting during the 17th century. He is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion through his works, characteristics that are vividly evident in Le Bon Samaritain.

The painting depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, a story from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. In this parable, a Samaritan helps a man who has been beaten and left for dead by the roadside, while others, including a priest and a Levite, pass by without offering assistance. Langetti's interpretation of this scene is both poignant and powerful, capturing the moment of compassion and mercy that defines the parable.

Langetti's mastery of light and shadow is particularly striking in Le Bon Samaritain. The use of chiaroscuro not only highlights the physical forms of the figures but also enhances the emotional gravity of the scene. The Samaritan's tender care for the wounded man is illuminated against a dark, foreboding background, emphasizing the contrast between human kindness and the surrounding indifference.

The composition of the painting is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye to the central act of compassion. The detailed rendering of the characters' expressions and gestures further adds to the narrative depth, making the viewer feel the urgency and humanity of the moment.

Le Bon Samaritain is a testament to Langetti's skill as a storyteller and his ability to infuse his works with profound emotional and spiritual resonance. It remains an important example of Baroque art, reflecting the era's emphasis on dramatic intensity and moral themes. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the cultural and religious values of the time.
