Tobiolus Catches the Fish, from The Story of Tobias 1543

Georg Pencz's 1543 engraving "Tobiolus Catches the Fish, from The Story of Tobias" depicts a scene from the Book of Tobit, where the Angel Raphael instructs Tobias to catch a fish. This scene is set by a river with a distant landscape, emphasizing the dramatic moment where Tobit, kneeling, grasps a large fish with his bare hands while the angel stands beside him. The engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, combining realistic detail with expressive lines, and is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
