EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas print titled "Raguel digging a grave, 1733" artist Pierre Parrocel takes us into the mysterious world of the Book of Tobit. The scene depicts Raguel, the father-in-law of Tobias, engaged in a clandestine act under the cover of night. With an air of secrecy and darkness enveloping the composition, we witness Raguel diligently digging a tomb with his trusty spade. His face is illuminated by an ethereal glow that adds to the enigmatic atmosphere surrounding him. Meanwhile, nearby lies a sleeping figure - perhaps Tobias himself or another character yet to be revealed. Parrocel's masterful brushwork brings forth a sense of tension and anticipation as we wonder what secrets lie within this hidden burial site. The juxtaposition between light and shadow further enhances our curiosity about the events unfolding in this nocturnal setting. This intriguing artwork from Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France invites us to delve deeper into the narrative of Tobit while appreciating Parrocel's skillful portrayal of emotion and storytelling through paint. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us to different worlds and ignite our imagination with its rich symbolism and visual storytelling prowess.
