A yellow crescent moon is in the upper right corner. Venus, the morning star, is to the left of center surrounded by rings of yellow and white. Other stars are scattered among the swirls of blue, each surrounded by various sized rings of white and yellow. Under the sky is a village with its church and steeple centered and prominent. Mountains undulate in the background. The mountains are darker shades of blue. In the village, windows in various locations have lights in their windows. There is a green cypress tree in the left foreground reaching almost to the top of the painting. The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Oil on canvas, 1889. 2′ 5″ × 3′ 0.25″.

The daughter is being supported by the farmer’s wife, who is a few steps away and holding the baby’s arms. All three figures are out in a garden.

The second painting is nearly identical to the first, but it has been painted with different, brighter colors, and there is laundry hanging over the fence in the background between the farmer and his wife.

A white cloth is draped over his body from the waist down. Behind him, the Virgin Mary stands over him with her arms outstretched around and slightly over him. Her palms are open and she stares downward, but not directly at him. Her expression is sad and calm. Christ’s head leans in toward Mary. In the first image, Christ’s body is lightly colored and Mary is dressed in blue. Christ’s body leans to the right and Mary stands slightly to the left. In the second painting, Christ’s upper body is shrouded in shadow, while Mary’s is more in the light. She is also wearing red cloth around her neck.

T he G ood S a m arit a n In this painting, the good Samaritan character from a parable told by Christ is helping a hurt man down from a horse. The hurt man leans heavily on the Samaritan and has his arm wrapped around the Samaritan’s neck. The horse stands patiently to the right of the two men, looking slightly toward them. The Samaritan is leaning back under the weight of the hurt man. Behind the men and to the left of them there is a road winding through a field and out of sight over a low hill. Two other vague human figures walk along the road away from the men, one near the men and the other in the distance. There is also an open and empty chest on the ground to the left of the men. The lighting in this painting is very light. The Good Samaritan (after Delacroix) by Vincent van Gogh. Oil on canvas, 1890. 2′ 4.75″ × 1′ 11.5″.

In this painting, the good Samaritan character from a parable told by Christ is helping a hurt man down from a horse. The hurt man leans heavily on the Samaritan and has his arm wrapped around the Samaritan’s neck. The horse stands patiently to the left of the two men, looking slightly toward them. The Samaritan is leaning back under the weight of the hurt man. Behind the men and to the right of them there is a road winding through a field and out of sight over a low hill. Two other vague human figures walk along the road away from the men, one near the men and the other in the distance. There is also an open and empty chest on the ground to the right of the men. The lighting in this version of the scene is dark and shadowy. The Good Samaritan by Eugène Delacroix. Oil on canvas, 1849. 1′ 2.5″ × 11.75″.
