"Tobias und der Engel" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Claes Cornelisz Moeyaert, who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Moeyaert, born in 1592 and deceased in 1655, was a prominent figure in the Amsterdam art scene and is known for his historical and biblical scenes, which often exhibit a rich use of color and detailed composition.

The painting "Tobias und der Engel" depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, a narrative that was popular among artists of the period for its moral and religious themes. The story revolves around the young Tobias, who is guided by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to collect a debt and find a cure for his father's blindness. During their travels, Tobias catches a fish whose gall, heart, and liver are later used to heal his father's eyes and to exorcise a demon from his future wife, Sarah.

Moeyaert's rendition of this biblical episode is characterized by its dynamic composition and the expressive interaction between the figures. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures of Tobias and the angel. The painting also reflects the influence of Caravaggisti, with its strong chiaroscuro and naturalistic details, while maintaining a distinctly Dutch sensibility in its meticulous attention to texture and landscape.

"Tobias und der Engel" exemplifies Moeyaert's ability to convey complex narratives through visual means, blending religious symbolism with human emotion. This work not only highlights the artist's technical prowess but also his deep engagement with the spiritual and moral questions of his time. As a result, it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Claes Cornelisz Moeyaert and a significant example of Dutch Golden Age painting.
