Original Description
Hendrick Goudt's The Large Tobias and the Angel (1613) is an evocative copper engraving masterpiece that captures a pivotal biblical narrative with striking chiaroscuro. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow heightens the mystical encounter between young Tobias and the archangel Raphael, their journey etched in swirling drapery and intricate foliage. Goudt, a student of Adam Elsheimer, adapted this from his mentor’s 1606 painting, translating its luminous oil effects into meticulous graphic precision. The work exemplifies Northern Mannerism’s fusion of Italianate elegance and Dutch naturalism, while its spiritual intensity influenced Rembrandt’s later biblical scenes. Held in collections like the Rijksmuseum, this print marked a watershed in 17th-century printmaking for its tonal depth and narrative gravitas—elevating engraving from reproduction to high art.
For interiors, The Large Tobias’s baroque grandeur demands thoughtful placement. Ideal for a study or library, it pairs with dark wood furnishings and leather accents to echo its rich contrasts. Frame it in an ornate gold-leaf frame to harmonize with its Old Master gravitas, or opt for a minimalist black frame to modernize its drama. The copperplate’s warm sepia tones complement earthy color schemes—think terracotta walls or ochre textiles—while its mid-size scale (approx. 30x40 cm) suits above a desk or between bookshelves. In offices, position it alongside Dutch Golden Age still lifes or botanical prints to create a cohesive art-historical vignette. Soft directional lighting will amplify its chiaroscuro, making the angel’s glow a focal point in dimly lit spaces.
