About the piece
Painted in 1618 by Flemish master Gaspar de Crayer, this oil work depicts the biblical narrative of Tobias and the Angel. The composition employs a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, where the luminous, celestial presence of the Archangel Raphael contrasts with the deep, moody tones of the wilderness and the humble, earth-toned attire of Tobias.
