A personal translation by Delacroix
Van Gogh works from a black and white reproduction. He therefore does not copy colors: he reconstructs them from memory and according to his own logic.

Vincent van Gogh · Early May 1890 · Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
The Samaritan lifts an injured man to place him on his horse, at the edge of a steep path. Van Gogh translates a black and white engraving after Delacroix into fiery colors and makes the gesture of help the center of the composition.
Look at the work
The almost naked injured man leans on the shoulder of the man dressed in a yellow coat. Their bodies fit together in a difficult movement: one leg hangs, the torso overturns and the Samaritan leans on the ground.
The brown horse waits on the right, harnessed in red and yellow. On the left, an open chest and abandoned clothes recall the attack. In the distance, two figures walk away on a road that climbs between the hills.
The undulating lines and color contrasts make the effort needed to help almost physical.
Composition, touch and color
The work KM 104.010 can be recognized by the Samaritan's yellow coat, the wounded man in blue pants, the brown horse and the open chest in the left corner.
Van Gogh works from a black and white reproduction. He therefore does not copy colors: he reconstructs them from memory and according to his own logic.
The arms, legs and folds of clothing become tangled. The composition places less emphasis on the face than on the concrete effort of help.
Blue, purple and yellow, red and green are strongly opposed. For Van Gogh, Delacroix was a guide in the expressive use of these complements.
Documented benchmarks
The Kroeller-Müller Museum preserves The Good Samaritan, after Delacroix under number KM 104.010. Painted at the beginning of May 1890, the work measures 73 × 59.5 cm and bears the references F633 and JH1974.
Van Gogh did not have the original painting. He transformed a monochrome reproduction into an oil-colored composition.
The museum places the production while Van Gogh returns to work after an episode of illness in Saint-Rémy.
The Kroeller-Müller Museum offers a possible rapprochement with Theo, the brother who continually supports Vincent; this is an interpretation.
Your reproduction
The painter must convey the weight of the two bodies, the undulating contours and the yellow-blue and red-green contrasts which give the scene its intensity.
