A rare and historically significant 16th-century oil on canvas by one of the great Venetian masters of the Renaissance.
This powerful and emotionally resonant painting depicts the pivotal moment from the Biblical Parable of the Good Samaritan.
A compassionate Samaritan tends to the wounds of a robbed and beaten traveler, while in the background the priest and Levite walk away. Typical of Bassano’s mature style, the scene is brought to life with his signature animals - a loyal dog licking the man’s wounds, a saddled horse, and a beautifully rendered Venetian landscape with a distant village under a dramatic sky. Rich earthy tones, masterful use of light, and extraordinary attention to detail define this work.
