"Bon Samaritain" (The Good Samaritan) is a notable etching created by the French artist Rodolphe Bresdin in 1861. Bresdin, known for his intricate and fantastical works, was a master of printmaking and a significant figure in the Symbolist movement. His works often feature dense, meticulously detailed compositions that blend elements of reality and imagination, and "Bon Samaritain" is no exception.

The etching depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, a story from the Gospel of Luke in which a Samaritan helps a man who has been beaten and left for dead by the roadside, while others pass by without offering assistance. Bresdin's interpretation of this parable is rendered with extraordinary detail and complexity, showcasing his technical prowess and unique artistic vision.

In "Bon Samaritain," Bresdin creates a richly textured landscape filled with an almost overwhelming amount of detail. The scene is set in a dense, forested area, with towering trees and a labyrinth of foliage that seems to envelop the figures within it. The Good Samaritan is depicted in the act of aiding the injured man, their forms almost blending into the intricate surroundings. This dense and immersive environment reflects Bresdin's fascination with nature and his ability to transform a simple narrative into a complex, almost surreal tableau.

Bresdin's work was influential to many artists of his time and later, including Odilon Redon, who was a student of Bresdin and carried forward his mentor's penchant for fantastical and symbolist imagery. "Bon Samaritain" stands as a testament to Bresdin's skill and his unique approach to storytelling through art. The etching remains a significant piece within the canon of 19th-century French art, illustrating the depth and intricacy that can be achieved through the medium of printmaking.
