EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tobias and the Angel" created by Wenceslaus Hollar in the 17th century, we are transported to a scene of profound spirituality. The image depicts Tobias, a young man from Bohemia, crossing a river with the guidance of an angelic figure. As Tobias carefully navigates his way across the stepping stones that span the flowing water, he is accompanied by his loyal canine companion. With bare feet touching each stone and clutching onto a walking stick for support, Tobias embodies determination and faith on his journey. The archangel Raphael takes form as an ethereal winged figure beside him, emanating divine light. His presence brings comfort and protection to Tobias as they traverse through this symbolic river of life. Surrounding them are various aquatic creatures - fish swimming gracefully beneath the surface and frogs perched on rocks nearby. These elements represent both nature's harmony and its potential dangers. Wenceslaus Hollar's masterful etching technique captures every intricate detail of this religious narrative. Through delicate lines and contrasting shades of white against black, he invites us into a moment frozen in time where human vulnerability meets celestial intervention. This remarkable artwork can be found at The Met museum, serving as a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess while reflecting upon themes of faith, trust, and spiritual guidance that resonate across centuries.
