Le Bon Samaritain, also known as The Good Samaritan, is a painting by the renowned English artist William Etty. Created in the 19th century, this artwork exemplifies Etty's skill in combining historical and biblical themes with his mastery of the human form. Etty, primarily known for his depictions of nudes and mythological subjects, often drew inspiration from classical literature and religious narratives.

The painting illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan, a story from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. In this parable, a Samaritan helps a traveler who has been beaten and left for dead by the roadside, while others pass by without offering assistance. Etty captures this moment of compassion and humanity, emphasizing the moral lesson of the story: the importance of kindness and helping those in need, regardless of social or ethnic boundaries.

Etty's composition is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the central figures and adds emotional depth to the scene. The artist's attention to anatomical detail and his ability to convey emotion through posture and expression are evident in the figures of the Samaritan and the wounded traveler. The landscape in the background, though secondary to the human drama, provides context and enhances the narrative.

Le Bon Samaritain reflects Etty's broader artistic goals of elevating moral and historical subjects through the beauty of the human form. Although not as widely recognized as some of his other works, this painting contributes to Etty's reputation as a significant figure in the British art scene of the 19th century. His works, including this one, are often celebrated for their technical proficiency and their ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

The painting is part of a collection that showcases Etty's diverse range of subjects and his commitment to exploring themes of morality, compassion, and human connection.
