"The Blindness of Tobit" is a 1651 biblical genre painting by Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Currently held by the Leiden Collection in New York, this intriguing work of art is based on the apocryphal Book of Tobit from the Bible. The painting depicts the dramatic moment of the elderly Tobit's blindness, a pivotal event in the narrative of the story.

Rembrandt, known for his emotive and narrative mastery, expertly captures the despair and helplessness in Tobit's facial expression and gestures. Simultaneously, the painting showcases his ingenious use of chiaroscuro, illustrating the contrast between light and dark, symbolic of the themes of sight, blindness, faith, and divine intervention that run throughout the Bible's story.

The composition focuses on Tobit at his table interrupted in the act of reading, his eyes clouded and his age-stricken face filled with confusion. In contrast to the dimly-lit interior scene, a heavenly blaze of light enters from the window, an allusion to an imminent divine intervention and a hint of hope amid despair.

While "The Blindness of Tobit" may not be as widely recognised as some of Rembrandt's other works, it is celebrated for its profound embodiment of human emotions and keen portrayal of visceral biblical narratives. As with many of Rembrandt's works, this painting provides a visually detailed and engaging historical narrative, interpreted through the lens of complex human experience. It is a benchmark of his mid-career work, demonstrating his evolving artistic style and deepening introspective perspective.
