The Good Samaritan, Marble statue in Tuileries Garden, France.
The Good Samaritan is a marble statue showing two figures, one helping another who is injured. It stands in the Tuileries Garden as part of the classical sculptures that sit along the pathways around the Grand Bassin Rond.
The sculptor François-Léon Sicard created this work in 1896. It was made during a period when the garden received many new public sculptures.
This marble work shows a biblical story about compassion and helping someone in need. It speaks to a timeless idea that visitors can connect with as they walk through the garden.
The statue sits near the Grand Bassin Rond and is accessible whenever the garden is open. Visit early in the day for the best light and fewer crowds around the sculpture.
This work is one of twelve sculptures arranged around the round basin in a carefully planned layout. Walking around the space, you can discover how each figure relates to the others and the garden's design.
