EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Good Samaritan" by the English School, dating back to the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this remarkable piece of art is a testament to the enduring power of biblical stories. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the parable of the Good Samaritan, as recounted in The Bible Album (Ward and Lock, c 1870). Through intricate details and masterful use of tints by Edmund Evans, this engraving breathes life into Jesus Christ's timeless teachings. The scene unfolds with compassion at its core. A weary traveler lies injured on a desolate road while two figures pass him indifferently. However, it is the titular Good Samaritan who emerges as a beacon of hope and kindness. With tender care and selflessness, he tends to the wounded stranger's wounds and offers solace amidst adversity. This artwork serves as a visual reminder that acts of empathy transcend time and place. It encapsulates not only religious significance but also universal values such as empathy, altruism, and human connection. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this profound artwork through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment that continues to inspire generations with its message of compassion for our fellow human beings.
