"The Good Samaritan" (1685) is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano. Renowned for his prolific output and versatility, Giordano was a master of various styles and techniques, which he adeptly employed to create dynamic and emotionally resonant works. This painting, created during a period when Giordano was at the height of his artistic powers, exemplifies his ability to convey complex narratives with clarity and dramatic intensity.

The painting depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, a story from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. In this parable, Jesus tells of a traveler who is beaten, robbed, and left for dead by the roadside. Several passersby, including a priest and a Levite, ignore the injured man, but a Samaritan, considered an outsider and enemy by the Jews of that time, stops to help him. The Samaritan tends to the man's wounds and ensures he receives care, embodying the virtues of compassion and mercy.

Giordano's interpretation of this parable is marked by his characteristic use of dramatic lighting and dynamic composition. The painting captures the moment of the Samaritan's intervention, with the wounded traveler lying on the ground and the Samaritan bending over him, administering aid. The figures are rendered with a sense of urgency and movement, highlighting the emotional gravity of the scene. Giordano's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action and emphasizing the moral message of the story.

"The Good Samaritan" reflects Giordano's deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to translate them into compelling visual narratives. The painting is a testament to his skill in combining technical prowess with a profound understanding of human emotion and spiritual depth. Today, it remains an important work within Giordano's oeuvre and a significant example of Baroque religious art.
