"The Good Samaritan" is an evocative etching by the Dutch artist Jan I Van De Velde, a prominent figure in the early 17th-century Dutch Golden Age of printmaking. Van De Velde, born in 1593 and active until his death in 1641, was renowned for his detailed and expressive etchings and engravings, which often depicted biblical scenes, landscapes, and genre subjects. His work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, dynamic compositions, and the ability to convey narrative through visual means.

This particular etching, "The Good Samaritan," illustrates the parable from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, where a Samaritan helps a man who has been beaten and left for dead by the roadside, while others pass by without offering assistance. Van De Velde's interpretation of this parable is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye to the central act of compassion, emphasizing the moral message of the story.

Van De Velde's etching technique is evident in the fine lines and intricate details that bring the scene to life, from the expressions on the characters' faces to the textures of their clothing and the surrounding landscape. The artist's ability to capture the human condition and convey a powerful narrative through his work has made "The Good Samaritan" a significant piece in the study of Dutch printmaking and religious art of the period.

This work not only reflects Van De Velde's technical skill but also his deep engagement with the moral and ethical questions posed by biblical stories. "The Good Samaritan" stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to communicate universal themes of kindness, empathy, and humanity.
