More about this artwork

"The Good Samaritan" (1940) by Cyprián Majerník is a compelling visual interpretation of the timeless parable from the Bible. In the painting, Majerník captures the essence of compassion and humanity through his expressive use of brushwork and earthy color palette.At the center of the composition, the viewer’s attention is drawn to two figures: a Samaritan and a wounded man. The Samaritan, depicted as an elderly figure with gray hair and beard, kneels compassionately beside the injured man who lies on the ground. His gestures and the tender way he supports the wounded man's body illustrate a profound moment of care and empathy.The background features a muted landscape and a solitary donkey, which further sets the scene in the biblical era and emphasizes the isolation of the moment shared between the two men. Majerník's style, characterized by thick, bold strokes and a somewhat somber tone, enhances the dramatic impact of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of kindness, aid, and moral duty.
