About the piece
Painted in 1614 by Pieter Lastman, this work illustrates the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. Lastman, a key figure in the Pre-Rembrandtist movement, masterfully captures the dramatic tension and emotional gravity of the moment as the Samaritan tends to the traveler's injuries beneath the watchful gaze of his horse. The composition blends classical landscape elements with the intense focus of the central figures.
