About the piece
Created in 1870 by Augustin Théodule Ribot, this oil painting depicts the central figure from the parable of the Good Samaritan. The work is defined by its masterful use of Tenebrism, where the pale, vulnerable form of the man is set in sharp contrast against a deep, cavernous environment, emphasizing the gravity of the scene.
