Le Bon Samaritain, translated as The Good Samaritan, is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Leandro Bassano, also known as Leandro dal Ponte. Born in 1557 in Bassano del Grappa, Leandro was part of the prolific Bassano family of painters, which included his father, Jacopo Bassano, and his brothers, Francesco, Giovanni Battista, and Girolamo. The Bassano family was renowned for their vibrant and dynamic compositions, often depicting biblical scenes, pastoral landscapes, and genre paintings.

Leandro Bassano's Le Bon Samaritain is a compelling representation of the parable of the Good Samaritan, a story from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. The parable tells of a Samaritan who 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. This narrative has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing compassion, mercy, and the importance of helping those in need.

In Le Bon Samaritain, Bassano captures the moment of the Samaritan's act of kindness with a keen eye for detail and emotional depth. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that enhances the sense of realism and immediacy in the scene. The figures are rendered with a naturalistic approach, reflecting the influence of Bassano's father and the broader Venetian school of painting.

The composition of Le Bon Samaritain is carefully structured to draw the viewer's attention to the central act of mercy, with the Samaritan tending to the wounded man. The background features a landscape that situates the scene in a broader context, adding to the narrative depth of the painting. Leandro's skillful use of color and texture further enriches the visual impact of the work, making it a significant example of his artistic prowess.

Le Bon Samaritain is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting not only exemplifies Leandro Bassano's mastery of his craft but also serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring moral lessons conveyed through biblical parables.
