556 - Attributed to Pedro de Orrente (Murcia, baptized April 18, 1580–Valencia, January 19, 1645)

Attributed to Pedro de Orrente (Murcia, baptized April 18, 1580–Valencia, January 19, 1645) Oil on canvas. Dimensions 89 × 117 cm. The scene depicts the parable of the Good Samaritan, a theme with strong moral significance that became popular in Christian art. The Samaritan, dressed in earth-toned garments and with a compassionate expression, tends to the injured man in the foreground, surrounded by a landscape that bridges the rural and urban. The composition is notable for the empathetic interaction between the two figures and the presence of the donkey, which lends narrative authenticity. The anatomical modeling, the rendering of the folds in the drapery, and the warm colors reflect a style characteristic of 17th-century Spanish painting.
