Le Bon Samaritain, also known as The Good Samaritan, is a painting by the renowned French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. Created in 1870, this work exemplifies Moreau's fascination with biblical themes and his distinctive approach to combining intricate detail with rich, evocative symbolism. The painting draws its subject from the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a story told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, which emphasizes compassion and altruism.

In Le Bon Samaritain, Moreau captures the moment when the Samaritan tends to the wounded traveler, who has been left for dead by robbers. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the central figures and imbues the scene with a sense of divine intervention. Moreau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the elaborate costumes and the lush, almost otherworldly landscape that surrounds the characters. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Moreau's style, reflecting his background in academic art and his interest in the mystical and the sublime.

The painting is also notable for its emotional depth. The expressions of the figures convey a profound sense of empathy and humanity, which is central to the parable's message. Moreau's use of color further enhances the emotional impact, with warm tones enveloping the Samaritan and the traveler, suggesting a sense of hope and redemption.

Le Bon Samaritain is housed in the Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris, a museum dedicated to the artist's work. The museum, which was once Moreau's home and studio, offers a comprehensive view of his oeuvre, providing context for understanding his artistic evolution and the themes that preoccupied him throughout his career. This painting, with its blend of narrative clarity and symbolic richness, stands as a testament to Moreau's skill and his unique vision within the Symbolist movement.
