Le Bon Samaritain

"Le Bon Samaritain" by Francois-Léon Sicard depicts the parable from the Bible of the Good Samaritan, known as a parable that was one told by Jesus in the Gospels to illustrate a moral and spiritual lesson. The statue shows a man tending to the wounds of another who has been beaten and left for dead. The story of The Good Samaritan is found within the New Testament under Luke, and tells how a man, who was a Jew, was robbed and beaten and left lying on the ground to die. The statue captures the compassion and care of the Good Samaritan and emphasizes the message of love and charity. The attention to detail in the facial expressions and the lifelike poses further add to the impact of the work, making it a timeless masterpiece.
