The Good Samaritan is a 1890 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting depicts a man on a horse, dressed in a yellow tunic and blue pants, holding a red bowl. He is shown in a dynamic pose, with his body twisted and his arms outstretched. The background is a mix of yellow, blue, and green hues, with visible brushstrokes that give the painting a textured look. The man's facial expression is one of concern or urgency, and his posture suggests he is in motion. The horse is also depicted in a dynamic pose, with its legs bent and its head turned to the side. The overall effect is one of energy and movement. The use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes gives the painting a sense of vitality and emotion.
