Landschap met barmhartige Samaritaan 1666 - 1695

"Landschap met barmhartige Samaritaan" is an etching by Jean Pesne, a prominent French artist who lived from 1623 to 1700. Dated between 1666 and 1695, this work showcases Pesne's mastery of the etching technique, creating detailed depictions of a landscape, a river, and a group of figures, including a horse, a man lying down, and a man on horseback. The scene, evocative of the parable of the Good Samaritan, highlights the interplay of light and shadow. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the etching, measuring 279 mm high and 209 mm wide, is a testament to Pesne's artistic skill and his ability to create a narrative through his artwork.
