Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn biography

This work is linked to Luke 10:33

The Samaritan unties the ropes he used to tie the wounded man to the horse.

Compared with Rembrandt's previous depictions (1633, 1642) of the story, this version is much more intimate, mostly because he left out most of the inn.
