Is "The Good Samaritan" by Rembrandt van Rijn Sold as a Shirt Anywhere?

Yes. Vestige Press sells The Good Samaritan (1633) by Rembrandt van Rijn printed on a t-shirt, and it is in stock on Etsy right now. The print is made from the Met Open Access archival scan of the original work, which is in the public domain. It is Archive Plate No. 009 in the Vestige Press series, priced at $31.99. This etching shows the Good Samaritan parable set in a ruined classical archway rather than a generic biblical backdrop, signed 'Rembrandt inventor et fecit 1633' — but a small defecating dog sits right in front, a naturalistic touch typical of the period.
