Painting Description
"La Guarigione di Tobi" (The Healing of Tobit) is a notable Baroque painting by the Italian artist Francesco Guarino (also known as Guarino da Sannicola), who was active during the early 17th century. This work is one of Guarino's significant contributions to religious art, depicting a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canons.
The painting illustrates the moment when the archangel Raphael, disguised as a human companion, guides Tobit's son Tobias to use the gall of a fish to cure his father's blindness. This subject has been a popular theme in Christian art, symbolizing healing and divine intervention. Guarino's interpretation is celebrated for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the tenebrism technique, which was prominent among followers of Caravaggio, whom Guarino was likely influenced by.
Francesco Guarino, born in 1611 in Sant'Agata de' Goti, Campania, and died in 1651, was known for his intense and emotional religious scenes. "La Guarigione di Tobi" showcases his skill in creating a sense of movement and emotional depth, as well as his ability to render the human figure with a sense of vitality and realism.
The painting's current location or ownership status is not specified in this introduction, as that information would require up-to-date verification.

The artwork serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic milieu of the 17th century and Guarino's place within it.
