The Good Samaritan 1940

Cyprián Majerník's 1940 painting "The Good Samaritan" depicts a scene of compassion and care. The painting features a gaunt man in a white garment being helped by a man in brown robes, likely representing the Samaritan from the biblical parable. A donkey stands nearby, symbolizing the journey and the theme of helping those in need. The artwork, created during a turbulent time in Europe, likely carries a deeper meaning of empathy and solidarity in the face of hardship. The painting's expressive brushstrokes and earthy palette evoke a sense of realism and emotional depth.
