"The Marriage of Tobias and Sarah" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, renowned for his lively and often humorous depictions of 17th-century Dutch life. Created around 1667-1670, this work is an exemplary illustration of Steen's ability to blend narrative storytelling with rich, detailed character studies. The painting draws its subject from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, a text that was popular in the visual arts of the period due to its dramatic and moralistic themes.

In the narrative, Tobias marries Sarah, who has been plagued by a demon that killed her previous seven husbands on their wedding nights. With the guidance of the archangel Raphael, Tobias is able to drive the demon away, allowing the couple to consummate their marriage safely. Steen captures this pivotal moment with a keen eye for both the solemnity and the underlying tension of the scene.

The composition is marked by its dynamic arrangement and the expressive faces of the figures, typical of Steen's style. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the emotional depth of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures of Tobias and Sarah while also highlighting the reactions of the surrounding characters. The rich, warm palette and intricate details of the interior setting further contribute to the painting's vivid realism.

Steen's interpretation of the biblical story is notable for its humanistic approach, emphasizing the personal and emotional aspects of the narrative. This focus on the individual experiences of the characters, combined with Steen's technical prowess, makes "The Marriage of Tobias and Sarah" a significant work within his oeuvre and a valuable example of Dutch Golden Age painting. The painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
