Le Bon Samaritain, or The Good Samaritan, is a notable painting by the 19th-century French artist Hippolyte Flandrin. Created in 1849, this work exemplifies Flandrin's mastery in combining classical themes with a deeply humanistic approach, reflecting the artist's academic training and his profound religious convictions. Flandrin, a student of the renowned painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, was known for his meticulous technique and his ability to convey emotion through composition and form.

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 pass by without offering assistance. Flandrin's interpretation of this scene is both poignant and evocative, capturing the moment of compassion and care that defines the narrative. The Samaritan is shown tending to the wounded man, his expression a mixture of concern and determination, embodying the virtues of kindness and altruism.

Flandrin's use of light and shadow in Le Bon Samaritain enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and emphasizing the moral message of the parable. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's gaze across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and urgency. The background, though subdued, provides a contextual setting that situates the event in a timeless, almost ethereal landscape.

Le Bon Samaritain is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual depth. The painting is a testament to Flandrin's skill as a painter and his ability to infuse classical themes with a sense of contemporary relevance, making it a significant work in the canon of 19th-century French art.
