About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Neapolitan artist Andrea Vaccaro, this masterful composition captures the biblical moment of Tobias catching the fish under the guidance of the Archangel Raphael. The work exemplifies the dramatic chiaroscuro and rich, atmospheric palette characteristic of the Neapolitan Baroque school, featuring luminous figures that emerge with great presence from a deep, shadowy background.
