The Good Samaritan n.d.

Rodolphe Bresdin's etching, "The Good Samaritan", depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. The composition, with its figures arranged in a deep space, conveys the drama and pathos of the scene. The artist, known for his detailed and often fantastical etchings, uses chiaroscuro to create dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, lending a sense of mystery and depth to the artwork. This artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, captures a pivotal moment in a timeless story of compassion and empathy.
