"The Good Samaritan" is a 17th-century oil painting by Pieter Lastman, a Dutch painter renowned for his history paintings and as the teacher of Rembrandt van Rijn. Created in 1612, this artwork exemplifies Lastman's narrative skill and his ability to infuse drama into biblical scenes. The painting depicts 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, beaten, and left half-dead on the road, after being ignored by a priest and a Levite.

Measuring 46 cm x 61 cm, the work is a testament to Lastman's mastery of composition and his use of color to enhance the storytelling. The scene is set against a landscape that recedes into the background, guiding the viewer's focus to the central act of mercy. The Samaritan is shown tending to the wounds of the injured man, illustrating the theme of compassion across cultural and religious boundaries.

Lastman's "The Good Samaritan" is significant for its influence on the young Rembrandt, who would later explore the same subject in his own work. The painting is an example of the cultural and artistic exchange in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age, where biblical and classical themes were popular among patrons. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or housed in a museum, contributing to the understanding of Baroque art and the development of narrative painting in the Netherlands.

This introduction provides a concise overview of the painting's subject, its artistic significance, and its place within the oeuvre of Pieter Lastman and the broader context of Dutch Golden Age painting.
