Pieter Stevens' "Landscape with the Good Samaritan" (c. 1595-1600) is a small-scale oil painting that depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. The scene, set in a lush woodland landscape, shows a Samaritan tending to a wounded man, illustrating the story's emphasis on compassion and helping those in need. Stevens' meticulous detail is evident in the depiction of the figures, the landscape, and the distant town. The painting, now in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism.
