EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Good Samaritan" a biblical scene from a bible printed by Edward Gover in the 1870s. The lithograph, created by Bendixen, Siegfried Detler, is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and is now housed in Germany. In this powerful image, we witness the essence of compassion and selflessness depicted through the story of the Good Samaritan. The central figure, a male traveler dressed in traditional desert attire, stands tall amidst an arid landscape. He extends his hand to aid another man who has fallen victim to robbery and violence. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to the characters' expressions and emotions. One can almost feel the weight of their predicament - the desperation for help contrasting with the hope emanating from their savior's face. Symbolic elements such as a camel nearby suggest that assistance arrived just when it was needed most. Additionally, balm and oil bottles visible on both figures imply healing and restoration following this harrowing ordeal. "The Good Samaritan" serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's capacity for kindness even in dire circumstances. It prompts us to reflect on our own actions towards others and encourages us to extend empathy whenever possible. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork through Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate its significance for generations to come.
