Anxious Blind Concerned Israelite Losing Tobit Worried
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Tobit's blindness, depicted in a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by Pierre Parrocel in 1733. The painting, titled "Tobit becomes blind" showcases the profound emotions and struggles faced by Tobit, an elderly Israelite man. As we gaze upon this artwork, we witness the despair and vulnerability etched onto his face. The artist skillfully portrays Tobit's physical transformation as he loses his sight, emphasizing the significance of this life-altering event. His once piercing eyes are now clouded with darkness, symbolizing not only his loss of vision but also a metaphorical journey into uncertainty. In contrast to Tobit's anguish, a female figure stands nearby with an expression filled with anxiety and concern. Perhaps she is a loved one or caregiver witnessing his plight unfold before her eyes. The cityscape in the background serves as a reminder that life continues amidst personal struggles – bustling streets carry on unaware of Tobit's affliction. This powerful image invites us to reflect on our own vulnerabilities and reminds us of the fragility inherent in human existence. It encourages empathy for those facing adversity while urging us to appreciate our own senses and abilities. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France, this timeless artwork transcends time and space to evoke deep emotions within all who encounter it.
