Tobias And The
Archangel Raphael
Print
£20.000
The subject is taken from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament Apocrypha.

Monticelli painted many imaginary scenes of costumed figures. Here, the central figure in white appears to be dressed in the costume of Pulcinella, a character from the Commedia dell' Arte plays. This subject was also used by Watteau, whom Monticelli greatly admired. The authenticity of this painting has been doubted. It was possibly painted by an artist imitating Monticelli in the 1870s. ...

Tobit And Anna Print

Tobit and Anna were the parents of Tobias who saved his father's sight with the help of the Archangel Raphael. Tobit had been reduced to poverty by God as a test: Anna supported them with her spinning wheel. Book of Tobit (2: 11 and 4: 21). If the identification of the subject as Tobit and Anna is correct, the spinning-wheel is presumably a reference to Anna working for money and the bare cupboard an allusion to their poverty. Because of the interior setting the painting was for a long time been interpreted as being a genre scene with an old couple. However, the subject was identified by comparison with a similar painting by Rembrandt ('Anna and the Blind Tobit'), also in the National Gallery's Collection. In 17th-century Holland, paintings were sometimes protected by curtains, and
illusionistic representations of them, as in the curtain set in front of the scene on the right, are not uncommon.
