Saint Tobias 1755

Johann Georg Pinzel's "Saint Tobias" is a 1755 Baroque sculpture, featuring a young man in a flowing garment, holding a fish in his right hand. The figure's dynamic pose and expressive facial features create a sense of movement and emotional depth. The sculptor's use of light and shadow contributes to the statue's dramatic effect, highlighting the folds of the clothing and the saint's youthful appearance. The work is characteristic of Pinzel's highly detailed and emotive style, a key element of the Baroque era. This sculpture stands as a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring power of religious art.
