Adam Elsheimer's "Tobias and the Angel" is a print depicting the biblical story of Tobias, a young man guided by an angel on a journey. The print displays the pair in a dramatic landscape, likely inspired by Elsheimer's travels through Italy. His use of chiaroscuro, a technique employing strong contrasts between light and dark, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This print, now in the National Gallery of Australia, exemplifies Elsheimer's mastery of light and shadow and is a significant work in the development of Northern Baroque art.
