"Tobias Catches The Fish (b. 17; Holl. 30)" is an exquisite engraving by the German Renaissance artist Georg Pencz, who was active during the first half of the 16th century. Pencz, a prominent figure among the so-called "Little Masters" of the German Renaissance, is renowned for his intricate and finely detailed engravings, which often depict biblical and mythological scenes. This particular work, created around 1540, illustrates a moment from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, a narrative that was popular among artists of the period for its rich storytelling and moral lessons.

The engraving captures the dramatic episode where Tobias, guided by the archangel Raphael, catches a large fish in the Tigris River. According to the story, the fish's gall, heart, and liver are later used to cure his father's blindness and to exorcise a demon from his future wife, Sarah. Pencz's interpretation of this scene is marked by his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey a sense of movement and emotion within the confines of the small, engraved format.

The composition of "Tobias Catches The Fish" is notable for its dynamic interplay of figures and the natural environment. Tobias is depicted in the act of wrestling with the fish, his body contorted with effort, while Raphael stands nearby, offering guidance and support. The background features a carefully rendered landscape, complete with flowing water and lush vegetation, which adds depth and context to the scene.

Pencz's engraving technique is characterized by fine lines and delicate cross-hatching, which create a rich texture and a sense of three-dimensionality. His ability to capture the nuances of light and shadow further enhances the realism and drama of the scene. "Tobias Catches The Fish" exemplifies Pencz's skill as an engraver and his ability to bring biblical stories to life with clarity and emotional resonance. This work remains a significant example of German Renaissance art and continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and narrative depth.
