"The Good Samaritan" is a 16th-century oil painting by Lucas Gassel, a Flemish Renaissance painter known for his landscape paintings and intricate depictions of biblical stories. The painting illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke (10:25–37), in which a Samaritan helps a traveler who has been stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road. This parable is a cornerstone of Christian ethics, emphasizing the importance of love and compassion for one's neighbor.

Lucas Gassel, born in Helmond in the Duchy of Brabant around 1500, was active during a period of significant religious, social, and artistic change. His works often reflect the Northern Renaissance's attention to detail and the burgeoning genre of landscape painting. In "The Good Samaritan," Gassel combines his skill in landscape with a moral narrative, creating a work that is both visually compelling and didactically potent.

The painting is notable for its intricate landscape and the way it incorporates various episodes of the parable into a single, continuous scene. Gassel's use of perspective and his ability to render nature with such precision contribute to the painting's narrative and aesthetic appeal. The foreground typically shows the Samaritan tending to the wounded man, while the background might include the priest and the Levite who passed by the victim, as well as the inn to which the Samaritan later takes the injured man.

"The Good Samaritan" by Lucas Gassel serves as an important example of the artist's oeuvre and provides insight into the religious and social values of the time. It is a testament to the enduring power of parables and their capacity to be interpreted and reimagined through the lens of art. The painting is not only a reflection of Gassel's technical prowess but also an embodiment of the humanist ideals that were gaining prominence during the Renaissance.
