De barmhartige Samaritaan 1910

This etching, titled "De barmhartige Samaritaan" (The Good Samaritan) was created in 1910 by Dutch artist Henri van der Stok. The artwork depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, in which a man is tended to by a Samaritan after being robbed and beaten. The scene is set at night with a lone light in the distance, creating a sense of isolation and vulnerability. Van der Stok’s signature style is evident in the etching's dramatic use of light and shadow. The image is in the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
