Gelijkenis van de barmhartige Samaritaan 1635 - 1694

Dirck de Bray's "Gelijkenis van de barmhartige Samaritaan" is a black and white etching depicting the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. This small print, created between 1635 and 1694, shows a man tending to a wounded traveler lying on the ground. The composition highlights the contrast between the Samaritan's compassion and the indifference of the two other figures walking away, a prominent theme in this parable. This artwork is a fine example of religious art of the 17th century, focusing on moral lessons through a familiar story.
