Painting Description
"Tobias and the Angel" is a notable painting from the Italian Renaissance, created by Andrea del Verrocchio between 1470 and 1480. Verrocchio, a master of the Florentine school, is renowned for his contributions to the art world as well as for his role as a teacher to prominent artists, including Leonardo da Vinci. This painting is a representation of the biblical story from the Book of Tobit, found in the Old Testament Apocrypha, which tells the tale of a young man named Tobias who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to cure his father's blindness.
The artwork is executed in tempera on panel, a common medium of the time, and is noted for its detailed depiction of figures and the use of perspective, which was a relatively new artistic development during the Renaissance. Measuring 83.8 cm × 66 cm (33 in × 26 in), the painting showcases Verrocchio's skill in creating lifelike figures and textures, as well as his ability to convey narrative through composition and gesture.
"Tobias and the Angel" is distinguished by its portrayal of the angel, who is guiding Tobias without revealing his true identity. The angel is depicted with a serene and protective demeanor, while Tobias appears youthful and obedient. The painting also includes the small dog that accompanies them on their journey, as mentioned in the biblical account, adding to the domestic and approachable nature of the celestial scene.
The work is part of a larger tradition of religious art in the Renaissance, which sought to connect viewers with sacred stories through more human and accessible representations. "Tobias and the Angel" is celebrated for its blend of divine and everyday elements, a characteristic that makes the painting a quintessential example of Verrocchio's artistic legacy.
Currently, "Tobias and the Angel" is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic mastery. The painting remains an important piece for understanding the development of Renaissance art and the influence of Verrocchio's workshop on the trajectory of Western art history.
