Great 17th century Italian painting, Tobias and the Angel

Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
Wonderful 17th century Italian painting. Oil on canvas artwork depicting Tobias and the angel Raphael, a famous biblical episode from the Book of Tobit. In the story, the young Tobias is guided by the archangel on an initiatory journey and Raphael will also protect him from the Demon Asmodeus, who tormented Sarah, the protagonist's future wife. In the painting we find a rare subject, at the bottom we see the defeated Demon, an allusion to the victory of good over evil. A painting of great pictorial quality and with a distinctly theatrical taste, belonging to the central Italian Baroque tradition. Scenic 19th century frame in carved and gilded wood with mecca, with some signs of aging. Painting already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and repainting of the color in some places. Overall in good condition. Interior size H 99 x W 72 cm.
