The Good Samaritan, after Delacroix 1890

Vincent van Gogh's "The Good Samaritan, after Delacroix" (1890) depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, a compassionate man who helps an injured stranger. The painting, a copy of Eugène Delacroix's work of the same name, is notable for van Gogh's characteristic use of swirling brushstrokes and vibrant colors, which give the scene a sense of drama and urgency. The painting is a testament to van Gogh's admiration for Delacroix and his own commitment to capturing the essence of human compassion through art. It is located in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, and is a poignant example of van Gogh's late style.
