About the piece
Painted in 1842 by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, this work illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan within a sweeping, light-filled landscape. The scene is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, highlighting the textured stone walls of a grand ruin and the delicate silhouettes of Mediterranean pines against a soft, expansive sky.
