The Samaritans 2014

"The Samaritans" (2014) by American painter Bo Bartlett depicts a group of individuals seemingly caught in a moment of transition. Bartlett's signature realism style renders the figures and their surroundings with meticulous detail, creating an air of both familiarity and mystery. The tableau presents a narrative enigma, inviting viewers to speculate on the relationships between the figures and their individual journeys. The composition, with its stark background and muted color palette, further contributes to the artwork's enigmatic and thought-provoking nature.
