The subject of the painting is drawn from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which tells how the archangel Raphael directed Tobias to cure his father’s blindness with the gall of the fish he had caught. Although born in Genoa, in 1630 Bernardo Strozzi moved to Venice, where this canvas was painted. He repeated the composition at least twice, suggesting that it enjoyed some success. Strozzi’s work is characterized by a distinctive vibrant brushwork and an attention to still-life details.
