Painting Description
"The Marriage of Tobias and Sarah. The First Night," is an oil-on-canvas painting completed in 1733 by French artist Pierre Parrocel (1664-1739). Depicting a scene from the Apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Bible, it portrays the wedding night of Tobias and Sarah. Historically significant for its moving storytelling and meticulous attention to detail, this work epitizes the Rococo style of painting, which was at its zenith during Parrocel's time.
The painting measures 33.6 x 27.7 inches, drawing the viewer into the intimate setting. It presents the Biblical couple Tobias and Sarah in their marriage bed, watched over by the archangel Raphael. This is a reference to the story where Tobias marries Sarah, who had been wedded seven times previously, with each husband dying on their wedding night due to a demon. It is believed that Raphael protected Tobias from this fate.
In Parrocel's depiction, Tobias and Sarah are shown in a prayerful pose, reflecting the moment in the story where they pray to God for protection. Raphael can be seen in the background, signifying divine intervention and protection. The use of light and shadow, coupled with the intimate detail with which Parrocel paints the human figures, lend a dramatic air to the piece.
"The Marriage of Tobias and Sarah. The First Night" is notable within Parrocel's oeuvre for its emphasis on religious iconography and its commitment to the narrative detail. It remains as a valuable example of Pierre Parrocel's mastery of Rococo painting style and his skill in textual interpretation. Today, this artwork is a major attraction where it is currently displayed, attesting to the longevity and far-reaching impact of Parrocel's work.
