EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing by Carlo Maratti depicts the miraculous healing of blindness in the biblical story of Tobias and Tobit. The scene showcases a young male, Tobias, kneeling before an elderly man, Tobit, who is blind. With great detail and skill, Maratti captures the emotional intensity of this moment as Tobias prepares to heal his father's sight. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and awe with its baroque style and classical elements. A heavenly angel hovers above them, symbolizing divine intervention in this extraordinary act of healing. The artist's meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy is evident in every stroke, particularly in depicting the tender touch between father and son. Maratti masterfully portrays the power of faith through his use of light and shadow. The soft glow illuminates their faces while casting dramatic shadows that add depth to the composition. This contrast beautifully highlights both the vulnerability and strength displayed by these two figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from the 17th century, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its profound spiritual significance. Through his skilled handiwork, Maratti brings to life a timeless tale that speaks to our universal longing for hope and restoration.
