EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tobias with the Archangel Raphael" transports us back to the 19th century France. Created by renowned artist Gustave Dore, this wood engraving beautifully depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament. The image showcases Tobias, a young man from Jewish descent, standing on a riverbank alongside the majestic Archangel Raphael. Intriguingly, Tobias is seen holding a fishing rod while gazing at the archangel who aided him in catching fish that miraculously restored his father's eyesight. This powerful concept of faith and healing resonates deeply within Christian and Jewish traditions alike. Dore's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this monochrome masterpiece. From the flowing robes of both figures to the serene river landscape behind them, each element contributes to an ethereal atmosphere. The presence of Raphael holding his crozier symbolizes his role as a messenger between heaven and earth. His angelic aura adds an otherworldly touch to this biblical narrative. As we admire this print, we are reminded of the miraculous events described in religious texts and how they continue to inspire believers across different cultures and geographies. It serves as a testament not only to Dore's artistic prowess but also to humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality and divine intervention.
