Original Description
William Etty’s Le Bon Samaritain (1825) is a dramatic and emotionally charged masterpiece of Romantic painting, depicting the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan tending to a wounded traveler. Richly textured and bathed in vibrant hues of red, gold, and ochre, the composition exudes both tenderness and urgency, as the Samaritan’s compassionate gesture contrasts with the surrounding wilderness. Etty, renowned for his mastery of the human form and luminous color palette, imbues the scene with a sense of movement and emotional depth, characteristic of his historical and allegorical works. Though less famous than his mythological nudes, this painting exemplifies his ability to blend realism with idealized beauty, bridging the neoclassical tradition and the emotive intensity of Romanticism. The painting holds significance as a reflection of 19th-century moral narratives and Etty’s technical brilliance, cementing his legacy as one of Britain’s foremost figure painters.
For interior decoration, Le Bon Samaritain would make a striking centerpiece in a study, library, or office, where its narrative depth and warm tones inspire contemplation. A large-scale reproduction (around 36" x 24") would command attention above a desk or fireplace, ideally framed in an ornate gold or dark wood to complement its classical style. Pair it with rich, earthy furnishings—deep brown leather chairs, mahogany bookshelves—or textiles in burgundy or olive green to harmonize with the painting’s palette. In a minimalist space, its vivid drama could balance neutral walls, while traditional settings would benefit from its timeless elegance. Position it near warm lighting to enhance its golden undertones, creating a focal point that blends artistry with refinement.
