Tobias geneest zijn vaders blindheid 1621

"Tobias geneest zijn vaders blindheid" (Tobias Heals His Father's Blindness) is a 1621 etching by the Dutch artist Moyses van Wtenbrouck. The image depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Tobit, in which the young Tobias, guided by the angel Raphael, heals his blind father Tobit by applying fish gall to his eyes. Wtenbrouck’s composition focuses on the dramatic moment of the healing, with Tobias kneeling and holding a dish while Raphael touches Tobit's eye. The scene is set against a detailed landscape with a distant seascape. Wtenbrouck's etching demonstrates his skill in depicting both the human figure and the natural world with great precision and detail.
