EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Good Samaritan Paying Innkeeper". Jan van de Velde transports us to a scene of compassion and generosity. The Dutch artist masterfully captures the essence of the biblical parable, bringing it to life with intricate details and emotional depth. The print showcases a pivotal moment in the story, where the Good Samaritan, portrayed as an anonymous figure cloaked in humility, stands before an innkeeper. With his hand extended towards the innkeeper, he offers payment for the care given to a wounded stranger. The innkeeper's expression reflects gratitude mixed with surprise at such selflessness. Van de Velde's skillful use of light and shadow adds drama to this poignant encounter. The play of light on their faces highlights their expressions and emphasizes the contrast between darkness and hope that pervades this narrative. This engraving from Liszt Collection not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also reminds us of our capacity for kindness in today's world. It prompts reflection on how we can extend help without expecting anything in return – just like the Good Samaritan did centuries ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Jan van de Velde, let us be inspired by its timeless message: that acts of compassion have no boundaries or limitations.
