EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Good Samaritan, ca. 1883" a remarkable painting that can be found in the esteemed Collection of Kunsthaus Zurich. Created by Ferdinand Hodler, a renowned Swiss artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this oil on canvas masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of Christian values such as charity and humanity. Inspired by the biblical parable found in the New Testament, Hodler skillfully depicts the moment when a compassionate Samaritan tends to an injured stranger abandoned on a desolate road. The symbolism within this artwork resonates deeply with viewers as it explores themes of justice, empathy, and selflessness. Through his meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, Hodler transports us into this powerful narrative where acts of kindness transcend religious boundaries. This genre painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also encourages reflection upon our own actions towards others. As we gaze at this fine art image, we are reminded of the timeless message conveyed by Jesus through his parables – to love one another unconditionally and extend help to those in need without hesitation or prejudice. In today's world filled with turmoil and division, "The Good Samaritan" serves as a poignant reminder that compassion knows no bounds.
