About the piece

This evocative 17th-century oil painting follows the biblical narrative of Tobias and the Archangel Raphael as they journey together. Executed in the style of Adam Elsheimer, the work is celebrated for its dramatic chiaroscuro and atmospheric depth, placing the brightly clad figures in vibrant blues and reds against a brooding, intricately detailed woodland and distant mountain range.
