EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of compassion and kindness depicted in "Ms EAB 664 The Good Samaritan, from the Codex Purpureus". Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Diocesano in Rossano, Italy. The image showcases a pivotal moment from the parable of The Good Samaritan. A male figure, representing Christ's teachings on empathy and charity, is seen rescuing a man who has been robbed and left wounded on a desolate road. With an angelic presence hovering above them, symbolizing divine intervention, they are accompanied by a donkey carrying their belongings. The composition exudes both strength and tenderness as the winged angel guides them forward while horses graze peacefully nearby. This juxtaposition highlights not only human acts of generosity but also harmonious coexistence with animals. Photographed by Giraudon in 1931 using exquisite technique to capture every intricate detail of this ancient manuscript painted on purple vellum from Constantinople. Through this timeless print, we are reminded that acts of kindness transcend time and culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us be inspired to embrace our own capacity for compassion and extend a helping hand to those in need.
