Tobit's Joyful Recovery of Sight: A 17th Century Depiction from the Old Testament (Tobit 11) This image, dating back to the 17th century, illustrates the heartwarming biblical story of Tobit's miraculous recovery of his sight as recorded in the Old Testament book of Tobit (Chapter 11). In this scene, Tobit, an elderly and pious Israelite, is shown with tears of joy streaming down his face as he gazes at the face of his beloved wife Sarah, who had been restored to him after a long separation. The story unfolds as Tobit, blinded by years of service in exile, prays for God's mercy and seeks the intercession of the prophet Eliezer. Eliezer, in turn, sends Tobit's young son Tobiah on a mission to retrieve the bones of the prophet Haggai and the ashes of the prophet Amos from Media. Tobiah successfully completes the task, and upon his return, the angel Raphael, who had accompanied him, anoints Tobit's eyes with the ashes, restoring his sight. This exquisite print, with its intricate details and rich colors, captures the profound emotion and spiritual depth of Tobit's moment of revelation. The tender expression on Sarah's face as she embraces her husband, the warm glow of the candlelight, and the reverent gaze of Tobit all contribute to a poignant and moving representation of the healing power of faith and divine intervention.
