Focus on this artwork and explore the The Archangel Raphael and Tobias.
This early, Giorgionesque work of Tobias and the Angel is recorded in a print by Lefèbre. The painting comes from the church of Santa Caterina, Venice, and was formerly thought by some scholars to be a copy of a lost original.The picture is attested—starting from Boschini, writing in 1664—on an altar dedicated to the Angel Raphael on the right side of the church. The presence of the Bembo coat of arms opens the hypothesis that the painting was commissioned by a member of the family of the humanist scholar Pietro Bembo.
