About the piece
Painted in 1649 by Jan Victors, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this work captures the dramatic moment an angel ascends back to heaven. The composition utilizes striking chiaroscuro to contrast the divine messenger against the shadowed architecture where Tobit's family kneels in profound wonder and prayer.
