About the piece

Attributed to the Dutch Golden Age master Matthias Stom, this painting is a quintessential example of the Caravaggesque style. The work captures the biblical moment of Tobias's healing with striking contrast and an earthy, warm palette. Stom's expert handling of light creates a sense of profound intimacy and monumental drama, making it a sophisticated focal point for traditional interiors.
