From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Landscape with the Good Samaritan is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a winding river and a few small buildings along the bank. A large tree stands near the right side, its branches dark against the sky. In the distance, a church or tower rises above the flat land, and a few people and animals move near the water. The artist used soft, blended colors to make the scene feel peaceful and a little mysterious. The light comes from the upper left, brightening the clouds but leaving the rest in shadow.
