Renaissance -Romanticism · Travel, healing and companion angel
A son leaves his father blind, travels the world with an unknown companion, confronts the fish, marries Sara and returns with healing: Tobit's story is a painting of the transformative journey.
The Book of Tobit provides European painters with one of the richest biblical stories in familiar and wonderful episodes. Tobit, having become blind, sends his son Tobit to collect a debt. The young man leaves accompanied by a traveler who is none other than the archangel Raphael. On the banks of the Tiger, he captures a fish whose heart, liver and gall will be used to defeat the demon Asmodeus and heal his father's eyes. The journey also leads Tobias to Sara, whom he marries before returning. The journey also leads Tobias to Sara, whom he marries before returning. From Verrocchio to Rembrandt, from Patinier to Turner and Bouguereau, the artists choose different moments: family farewells, walking with the angel, fighting the fish, marriage, healing or final revelation. The collection thus crosses several genres. The story can become a panoramic landscape, a domestic scene, an allegory of Providence or an image of filial tenderness. Raphaël appears less as a spectacular messenger than as a guide who walks at the same pace as human beings. The "Tobie" selection notably compares Tobie's farewell to his father and Story of Tobias and the Angel taken from the Book of Tobit. His reading favors figures.
Tobias advances without knowing that his companion is an archangel: all the strength of the story lies in this divine help which takes the ordinary form of a shared walk.
