The Good Samaritan
1910
Henri van der Stok captures a quiet, moonlit moment from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan in this 1910 drypoint print. Instead of a bustling road, we see the aftermath: a wounded man slumping forward while a bearded figure gently tends to him under the glow of a bright, full moon. The scratchy, energetic lines give the scene a raw, emotional texture, making the darkness feel heavy and the moonlight feel like a beacon of hope. It's an intimate take on a famous story, focusing on the quiet act of care rather than the drama of the rescue.
