Landscape with the Good Samaritan

Artist	Rembrandt
Year	1638
Medium	Oil on oak panel
Dimensions	46.2 cm × 65.5 cm (18.1 in × 25.7 in)
Location	Czartoryski Museum, Kraków, Poland

Landscape with the Good Samaritan is a 1638 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Rembrandt. It is one of only six oil landscapes by the artist, and it is also one of only three Rembrandt paintings in Polish connections; the other two are The Girl in a Picture Frame and The Scholar at the Lectern. It illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke.

It was bought at a Paris auction by Jean-Pierre Norblin de La Gourdaine and therefore passed into the Polish noblewoman Izabela Czartoryska's collection at the Dom Gotycki at Puławy. That collection was later moved to Kraków, and so it was one of several painting looted by the Germans in 1939. After World War Two, thanks to research by the art historian Karol Estreicher, it was returned to Kraków and is now in the city's Czartoryski Museum.
