Vignette of Tobias and the Angel
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art, reminiscent of the style of the renowned Swiss artist Henry Fuseli, active in England. This exquisite vignette, featuring the biblical scene of Tobias and the Angel, is a stunning example of the artist's mastery of pen and black ink with brush and gray wash on tan laid paper. The composition is drawn from the Old Testament Book of Tobit, a tale of faith, redemption, and divine intervention. In this scene, Tobias, a pious and virtuous man, is guided by the angel Raphael in his quest to retrieve the lost possessions of his family. The angel assumes the form of a fish, which Tobias later prepares for dinner, only to discover that it is actually Raphael in disguise. As a reward for his obedience and kindness, Tobias is granted the sight of the angel in his true form. The vignette is further enhanced by the intricate floral border that adorns its edges. The floral design, with its delicate patterns and rich colors, adds an element of beauty and elegance to the piece. The border, like the central image, is expertly executed with pen and ink, showcasing Fuseli's exceptional skill in decorative arts. This vignette is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place. It is a treasure to be admired in art centres, galleries, and institutes, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be appreciated by generations to come. Whether you are a scholar of Old Testament history, an art enthusiast, or simply someone in search of inspiration, this vignette of Tobias and the Angel is sure to captivate and delight.
