Landscape with the Good Samaritan

Rembrandt's Landscape with the Good Samaritan presents a dark, atmospheric landscape dominated by a large gnarled tree on the right, with a winding path and a few figures near a horse in the mid-ground. A pale light illuminates a distant valley and a small waterfall on the left, while the sky and distant hills remain somber and cloud-filled. The palette relies on warm earth tones—ochres, browns, and reds—contrasted with cool blue-gray distances, and the handling shows strong chiaroscuro and loose brushwork typical of Rembrandt’s landscape paintings.
