About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Neapolitan master Andrea Vaccaro, this work captures a pivotal moment from the Book of Tobit. The Archangel Raphael, depicted with magnificent wings and vibrant blue robes, points the way for a young Tobias, who approaches with a mixture of awe and determination. The composition exemplifies the dramatic lighting and emotional depth characteristic of the Italian Baroque period, rendered with the elegant naturalism Vaccaro was known for.
