EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn's masterpiece, "Anna and the Blind Tobit" created around 1630. Painted with oil on panel, this artwork measures 63.8x47.7 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, UK. The scene depicted in this painting portrays a poignant moment between Anna and her blind husband Tobit. As they sit by the window, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of a crackling fire, we witness an intimate glimpse into their lives. Anna attentively tends to her husband while he listens intently to her words. Rembrandt's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of emotion on their faces - love, compassion, and perhaps even a hint of sorrow for Tobit's blindness. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as these two individuals find solace in each other's company. The inspiration for this painting comes from the Book of Tobit found in the Apocrypha - a collection of biblical texts not included in most Protestant versions but revered by Jewish tradition. This story tells of Tobit's journey towards healing his blindness through divine intervention. As we admire this remarkable work, it is worth noting that Rembrandt may have received assistance from Gerrit Dou during its creation. Regardless, "Anna and the Blind Tobit" remains an enduring testament to Rembrandt's mastery as one of history's greatest Dutch painters.
