EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite artwork of "Tobias and the Archangel Raphael" by Adam Elsheimer. Painted around 1650, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 19.3x27.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London, UK. The scene depicted here tells a biblical tale from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament. Tobias embarks on a journey from Nineveh to collect money owed to his blind father, Tobit. Along his path, he encounters the disguised archangel Raphael who becomes his guide and protector. In this mesmerizing composition, Elsheimer skillfully portrays Tobias and Raphael amidst a stunning landscape filled with vibrant poppies, grazing cows, and serene wildlife. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every element with precision. The highlight of this story lies in Raphael's miraculous act of curing Tobit's blindness using organs from a fish - its heart, liver, and gall. This divine intervention adds an ethereal touch to an already enchanting painting. Elsheimer's work showcases elements of Baroque art combined with classical influences that were prevalent during his time as a German painter. Through this piece, viewers are transported back in time while contemplating themes of faith and protection conveyed through religious symbolism. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Elsheimer's talent while immersing ourselves in the spiritual narrative it portrays.
