EDITORS COMMENTS
The Healing of Tobit" is a captivating masterpiece by Italian artist Bernardo Strozzi, created in the early 1630s. This remarkable painting, measuring 158x223.5 cm, can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artwork depicts a profound biblical scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit. At its center stands Tobit, an elderly blind man leaning on his walking stick or cane for support. His faithful son Tobias accompanies him as they encounter an archangel disguised as a young man named Raphael. Intriguingly, an otter hound dog joins this divine encounter, symbolizing loyalty and protection. The presence of this majestic animal adds depth to the narrative and highlights the bond between humans and animals. Strozzi's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of various elements within the composition. A fish held by Tobias alludes to its significance in healing rituals mentioned in the Old Testament. "The Healing of Tobit" not only showcases Strozzi's mastery but also explores themes such as faith, redemption, and divine intervention that resonate with Christian viewers. It serves as a powerful reminder of how religious narratives continue to inspire art across different periods and cultures. This stunning print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every brushstroke while immersing ourselves in this timeless tale from biblical lore.
