"A Landscape with the Parable of the Good Samaritan" is a 16th-century oil painting by the Flemish artist Herri met de Bles, who was known for his detailed landscapes and intricate treatment of natural elements. The painting illustrates the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke, where a traveler who is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road is helped by a Samaritan, who was generally despised by the Jewish people.

Herri met de Bles, also known as Civetta due to the owl that often appears in his signatures, was part of a family of artists and is considered a representative of the Northern Renaissance. His works are characterized by their use of allegory, and he was particularly adept at blending biblical themes with contemporary 16th-century life, often set within expansive and imaginative landscapes.

In this painting, the artist not only depicts the central event of the parable but also surrounds it with a vast landscape that includes various scenes and vignettes. These additional scenes may serve as further moral lessons or simply reflect the daily life of the period. The landscape itself is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, featuring diverse flora and fauna, architectural elements, and atmospheric effects that demonstrate the artist's skill and contribute to the narrative quality of the work.

"A Landscape with the Parable of the Good Samaritan" is notable for its didactic purpose, serving as a visual sermon on the virtues of compassion and mercy. The painting invites the viewer to engage with the moral implications of the parable while also appreciating the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Herri met de Bles's work is an example of how Northern Renaissance artists incorporated religious subjects into broader landscapes, thus merging spiritual and earthly realms in their art.

The painting is part of the collection of the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego, California, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its rich portrayal of 16th-century European society and landscape.
