"The Blindness of Tobit" is a notable artwork by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in the 17th century. This etching, also known by its catalog numbers Bartsch 42, Hind 252, and Biörklund and Barnard 51-D, depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is part of the Old Testament in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles but is considered apocryphal in the Protestant tradition.

The biblical narrative tells the story of Tobit, a pious Israelite of the tribe of Naphtali, who becomes blind after bird droppings fall into his eyes. Rembrandt, known for his profound biblical interpretations and masterful use of chiaroscuro, captures the moment of Tobit's affliction with dramatic intensity. The etching is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in conveying emotion and narrative through the interplay of light and shadow, a technique that he mastered and is widely celebrated for.

"The Blindness of Tobit" is part of a larger body of work by Rembrandt that explores religious and historical themes. His etchings, in particular, are highly regarded for their innovative approach to the medium and their influence on the development of printmaking in Europe. This work reflects Rembrandt's deep engagement with biblical subjects and his ability to humanize these stories, making them accessible and emotionally resonant for viewers.

As an artist, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669) is considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age, in which Dutch art (especially Dutch painting), although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative.

"The Blindness of Tobit" remains an important work within Rembrandt's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's thematic interests and his mastery of etching as a medium. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
