Archangel Raphael Blind Book Of Tobit Departing Departure Gesturing Guardian Guidance Leaving Tobias Unhappy
Departure of the young Tobias, 1733
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Pierre Parrocel that captures a poignant moment of departure and the emotions it entails. The artwork depicts Tobias, a young man about to embark on a journey, accompanied by his guardian angel, Archangel Raphael. As Tobias prepares to leave, his mother stands beside him with an expression of sadness and concern on her face. The composition beautifully portrays the contrast between joyous anticipation and melancholic farewell. Tobias's father, depicted as blind in the Book of Tobit from which this scene is derived, adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. His presence symbolizes both vulnerability and trust in divine guidance. Parrocel skillfully uses light and shadow to enhance the emotional impact of this scene. The warm glow illuminates Archangel Raphael's gesture towards the departing traveler while casting shadows that intensify the somber mood surrounding Tobias' family. This print from Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille invites viewers into an intimate moment filled with mixed emotions – hope for new experiences mingled with sorrow over separation. It serves as a timeless reminder that departures are not only physical journeys but also transformative moments in our lives when we rely on loved ones' support or seek guidance from higher powers.
