The composition depicts the biblical narrative from the Gospel of Luke, where a traveller, having been robbed and beaten, receives aid from a stranger. The central figures occupy the foreground, positioned beneath a large tree that anchors the scene. The Samaritan, dressed in a turban and colourful robes, pours oil onto the wounds of the injured man, who lies across his lap. To the left, a white horse stands patiently, its harness and saddle rendered with precise detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background reveals a complex, multi-layered environment. In the distance, classical ruins, including a columned structure and an obelisk, suggest a setting influenced by the Italianate style popular among Northern artists of the period. Further back, a winding path leads the eye through a wooded area where other figures, likely the priest and the Levite mentioned in the parable, are visible. The artist employs a high degree of finish, typical of the Northern Renaissance tradition, with particular attention given to the textures of the skin, the fabric of the garments, and the foliage of the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of the date and the reference to the Gospel of Luke (LVC X) on the stone in the foreground provides a clear anchor for the subject matter. The painting reflects the period's interest in combining humanistic detail with moralising religious themes. The lighting is even, allowing for a clear view of the anatomical rendering of the figures and the atmospheric perspective of the distant hills. This piece is a representative example of the Mannerist tendencies emerging in the Netherlands during the mid-sixteenth century, where the integration of classical architecture and naturalistic figures became a standard approach for narrative painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/adam-and-eve-in-the-garden-of-eden-lucas-cranach-the-elder\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAdam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by Lucas Cranach the Elder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/susanna-and-the-elders-fine-art-print-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSusanna and the Elders - Fine Art Print\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meester van de Barmhartige Samaritaan","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461635014991,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461641666895,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461641699663,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461641732431,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461641765199,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461641797967,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461641830735,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461641863503,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461641896271,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461641929039,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461641961807,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461641994575,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Good-Samaritan_Poster_CompositorV1_1792111738269.jpg?v=1794354461","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-good-samaritan-master-of-the-good-samaritan","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
