"Tobias Healing the Blindness of His Father" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Gioacchino Assereto, created in the 17th century. Assereto, known for his dramatic and expressive style, was active during the early Baroque period in Genoa. This painting depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is part of the Old Testament in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian Bibles.

The biblical narrative tells the story of Tobit, who goes blind after bird droppings fall into his eyes. His son, Tobias, guided by the Archangel Raphael, goes on a journey during which he catches a fish whose gall can cure his father's blindness. In Assereto's rendition, the moment of healing is captured with a poignant intensity, as Tobias applies the fish gall to his father's eyes, an act that ultimately restores Tobit's sight.

The composition of the painting is marked by the dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the tenebrist style that Assereto and his contemporaries in Italy were known for. The figures are rendered with a strong sense of realism and emotional depth, highlighting Assereto's skill in portraying human emotion and divine intervention.

"Tobias Healing the Blindness of His Father" is significant for its artistic merit and for its representation of a less commonly depicted biblical story. The work is an example of Assereto's mastery in combining the physical and spiritual realms in his art, and it contributes to the understanding of Baroque religious paintings and their role in the cultural and spiritual life of the period.

The painting is held in various collections, and its provenance, as well as critical reception, has been the subject of art historical research. It stands as a testament to Assereto's contribution to the Baroque movement and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic elements.
