The Good Samaritan

Workshop of Domenico Fetti Italian
ca. 1618–22
Not on view
At the end of his life, about 1618–22, Fetti executed, for the Ducal collection at Mantua, a number of small paintings of parables. Most of these exist in a number of versions, and were reproduced in Fetti's shop. Autograph paintings by Fetti of "The Good Samaritan" exist in Dresden and in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Studio replicas are in the Accademia in Venice, at San Diego, and in other collections.
