About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Italian Baroque master Salvator Rosa, this evocative work captures the biblical story of Tobias and the Angel with characteristic dramatic flair. The Archangel Raphael, bathed in ethereal light, gestures toward the youth as he wrestles with a large fish in a moody, atmospheric landscape. The composition is a superb example of Rosa's ability to combine narrative figures with turbulent, expressive settings.
