EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernardo Strozzi's masterpiece, "Tobias Curing His Fathers Blindness" which depicts a profound biblical scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit. Measuring an impressive 146.1 x 223.5 cm, this oil on canvas painting can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In this poignant image, we witness Tobias, a young and innocent child, accompanied by the archangel Raphael with magnificent wings unfurled. The story unfolds as Raphael guides Tobias to cure his father's blindness using the gall of a fish he had caught earlier. The composition beautifully captures the moment when Tobias gently applies the miraculous remedy to his father's eyes while being watched over by celestial beings. Strozzi's masterful brushwork brings life and emotion to every detail - from the tender expression on Tobias' face to his father's hopeful anticipation. Through this artwork, viewers are transported into a world where faith intertwines with compassion and divine intervention becomes tangible. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of darkness and despair, miracles can happen through acts of love and obedience. Strozzi skillfully blends religious symbolism with naturalistic elements such as animals and wildlife surrounding Tobias, creating an atmosphere that is both ethereal and grounded in reality. This print is not only a testament to Strozzi's artistic prowess but also an invitation for contemplation on themes of healing, faith, and the power of selfless actions depicted within
