O bom samaritano

1864

Millais brings the famous biblical parable to life with gritty realism, showing the Good Samaritan kneeling to embrace a wounded traveler on a dusty path. The donkey on the left stares intently, almost judging the scene, while a figure in the distance walks away—likely the priest who ignored the man's plight. As a Pre-Raphaelite, Millais was obsessed with 'truth to nature,' and you can see it in the rough texture of the clothes and the landscape. This 1864 illustration proves he didn't need bright colors to create a deeply emotional masterpiece.
