About the piece
Created in 1878 by French painter Aimé Morot, this evocative oil-on-canvas study captures the emotional depth of the Good Samaritan parable. The 'esquisse' or sketch style offers a modern, textural feel with visible brushwork and a moody, atmospheric palette that elevates the classical narrative.
