EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century, titled "Tobit blinded by sparrows droppings" is a remarkable piece of art that showcases the skill and creativity of the European School. The print depicts a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Tobit, where he is rendered blind after being struck by sparrow droppings. The intricate details and delicate lines in this engraving highlight the mastery of the artist. The composition draws attention to Tobit, who appears asleep or napping under a tree while birds flutter above him. Sparrows, swallows, titmice, nightingales, finches, thrushes, warblers, larks, and robins all make an appearance in this lively depiction of nature's unexpected consequences. The black-and-white color scheme adds depth and intensity to the image while emphasizing its timeless quality. Through this artwork's monochromatic tones and meticulous craftsmanship emerges a powerful narrative about faith and divine intervention found within religious texts like the Old Testament. As we gaze upon this historical print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era when engravings were highly valued for their ability to tell stories visually. This particular piece remains part of an unidentified series published in Paris during the 17th century. Overall, "Tobit blinded by sparrows droppings" serves as both a testament to artistic talent and a reminder of humanity's connection with ancient tales that continue to shape our understanding today.
