Painting Description
"Le Bon Samaritain" (The Good Samaritan) is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1633. This work, which measures approximately 25.5 cm × 20.7 cm, is a striking example of Rembrandt's skill in conveying narrative and emotion through the medium of printmaking. The etching is based on the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Bible (Luke 10:25-37), which tells the story of a Samaritan man who helps a traveler who has been stripped, beaten, and left for dead by the roadside, after others have passed by without offering assistance.
In Rembrandt's interpretation, the scene is rendered with dramatic lighting and meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that define much of his work. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged to guide the viewer's eye through the story. The Samaritan is depicted in the act of tending to the injured man, exemplifying the themes of compassion and mercy that are central to the parable.
The etching is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, to create depth and volume. Rembrandt's mastery of etching techniques, such as line work and hatching, is evident in the rich textures and the sense of movement he imparts to the figures' garments and the surrounding landscape. "Le Bon Samaritain" is not only a reflection of Rembrandt's artistic prowess but also an expression of the humanistic values that permeate his oeuvre.
As one of Rembrandt's most poignant religious scenes, "Le Bon Samaritain" has been widely studied and admired. It is held in numerous collections and has been the subject of extensive art historical research. The etching continues to be celebrated for its technical excellence and its enduring moral message, resonating with audiences centuries after its creation.
