Painting Description
Tobia e l'angelo; Gli Aruspici is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Salvator Rosa, who is renowned for his dramatic landscapes, historical paintings, and genre scenes. Rosa, born in 1615 in Naples, was a versatile artist who also dabbled in poetry, music, and acting. His works are characterized by their dark, moody atmospheres and often feature themes of mysticism and the supernatural.
Tobia e l'angelo (Tobias and the Angel) is a subject derived from the biblical Book of Tobit, which tells the story of Tobias, the son of Tobit, who is guided by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to retrieve a sum of money. During their journey, Raphael instructs Tobias to catch a fish, the entrails of which are later used to cure Tobit's blindness and to exorcise a demon from Sarah, Tobias's future wife. This narrative provided Rosa with ample opportunity to explore themes of divine intervention, faith, and the supernatural, all of which were central to his artistic oeuvre.
Gli Aruspici (The Soothsayers) is another work by Rosa that delves into the realm of the mystical and the arcane. Aruspicy, the practice of interpreting omens from the entrails of sacrificed animals, was an ancient Etruscan and Roman practice. Rosa's depiction of aruspici reflects his fascination with the esoteric and the occult, themes that recur throughout his body of work. The painting likely captures the tension and drama associated with the act of divination, showcasing Rosa's skill in rendering complex emotional states and his interest in the darker aspects of human experience.
Both Tobia e l'angelo and Gli Aruspici exemplify Salvator Rosa's unique approach to Baroque painting, characterized by his dramatic use of light and shadow, his dynamic compositions, and his interest in subjects that lie on the fringes of conventional religious and historical narratives. These works contribute to Rosa's legacy as an artist who pushed the boundaries of traditional Baroque art, infusing his paintings with a sense of mystery and psychological depth.
