Tobias and the Angel 1607 - 1610

"Tobias and the Angel" is a 17th-century painting depicting a scene from the biblical Book of Tobit. The anonymous artist captures the moment when the angel Raphael, disguised as a human, guides the young Tobias on his journey to collect the money owed to his father. The painting's composition is balanced, with Tobias and the angel moving in opposite directions, highlighting the dynamic interaction between them. The lush, detailed landscape in the background provides a sense of the journey's vastness and the divine presence guiding them. This oil painting on panel is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
