Product Description
This Good Samaritan Contemporary Icon brings the Good Samaritan story vividly to life. It makes an ideal gift for volunteers or anyone who performs service or ministry – even more so because each painting is hand-made and hand-signed b the artist. Made in Poland by a deeply spiritual artist, this icon is an enriching and symbolically profound Father’s Day or Christmas gift. It is painted in a medium known as “reverse oil painting” on glass, which causes the icon to be literally radiant with reflective light. At 3.5 x 5 inches, this painting is an ideal gift, as it can be placed in nearly any setting and complement the decor while adding a spiritually meaningful and artistically charming touch.
A Reverse Oil Painting on Glass
Reverse oil painting on glass is an art technique by which the artist paints a picture on the reverse side of a glass surface. Realistic reverse paintings are extremely challenging to create since, for example, in painting a face, the artist must put the pupil of an eye on the glass before the iris, exactly the opposite of painting a picture. The artist is not able to correct any errors made earlier since the surface between the glass and the paint already applied is now completely inaccessible. An artist in Poland who specializes in religious themes painted this and many other reverse oil paintings on glass. Each of these beautiful paintings are enclosed in handmade frames with a leather back made by the artist’s elderly mother. No two paintings are alike.

Each icon is a true one-of-a-kind original work of art. Colors and depiction will vary, sometimes significantly. We are happy to email you images of what is currently available. Please contact us.

Good Samaritan
This is an appropriate gift for a service award or for anyone in the healing professions or working selflessly to improve the lots of others. “Go and do likewise.”
Luke 10
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
