EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a timeless biblical story - "Tobias and the Archangel Raphael returning with the Fish". Created at the end of the 16th century, this masterpiece by Adam Elsheimer is housed in the esteemed State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The painting depicts Tobias, a faithful pilgrim, accompanied by his celestial guide, Archangel Raphael. Their journey has been fruitful as they return with a miraculous fish that will bring healing to Tobias' father's blindness. The scene exudes an air of devotion and charity, emphasizing themes of faithfulness and compassion. Elsheimer's meticulous brushwork and use of oil on copper lend an ethereal quality to this Mannerist artwork. Every detail is rendered with precision, from Tobias' humble attire to Raphael's angelic presence. This composition not only showcases Elsheimer's artistic mastery but also serves as a testament to his patron's devoutness. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness this sacred encounter between mortal and divine beings. It reminds us of the power of faith and how acts of kindness can lead to miracles. This photograph allows us to appreciate fine art images like never before while honoring its historical significance within Germany’s Catholic Church tradition.
