Tobias en de engel in een landschap

A detailed engraving showing the biblical figures Tobias and the Archangel Raphael traversing a rugged terrain dominated by twisted trees and rocky outcrops. In the distance, a sprawling fortified city sits nestled at the foot of jagged mountains. A group of travelers and a pack animal rest in the foreground, highlighting the scale and wildness of the natural environment.

Produced by artists associated with the court of Rudolf II in Prague, this work reflects the era's interest in 'world landscapes' (Weltlandschaft) and the medicinal narratives of the Book of Tobit. The story of Tobias was frequently linked in early modern natural philosophy to divine guidance and the discovery of hidden healing virtues within nature.
