Tobiah and the Angel 1593 - 1610

"Tobiah and the Angel" is a small-scale oil painting created by an anonymous artist between 1593 and 1610. The work depicts a scene from the biblical book of Tobit, where the angel Raphael guides Tobiah through a perilous journey. The painting is characterized by a dark and somber palette, emphasizing the mystical nature of the encounter. The figures are rendered realistically, with attention to detail in their clothing and expressions, while the background suggests a landscape bathed in twilight, creating a sense of drama and suspense. This painting is now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
