EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting by Pierre Parrocel, we witness a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Tobias and Sarah. The scene depicts Tobias, a young man filled with hope and determination, as he gathers the courage to ask Raguel for his daughter's hand in marriage. The composition is rich with emotion, as Tobias stands before Raguel, who appears deep in thought. Both men are dressed elegantly, emphasizing the significance of this encounter. Sarah remains unseen but her presence is strongly felt through their expressions - anticipation on Tobias' face and perhaps apprehension on Raguel's. Parrocel masterfully captures the essence of this biblical narrative from the apocryphal Book of Tobit. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns adorning their clothing to the subtle play of light and shadow that adds depth to their faces. As viewers, we are transported back to 1733 when this masterpiece was created. We can almost hear Tobias' nervous heartbeat as he awaits Raguel's response. Will his request be granted? Will love triumph over all obstacles? This print serves not only as a visual delight but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as love, family bonds, and tradition. It reminds us that throughout history, individuals have sought blessings for their unions just like Tobias did centuries ago. Let this artwork inspire you to cherish your own relationships and appreciate those moments when two souls come together under divine guidance.
