More about this artwork

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's drawing titled "Tobit Burying the Dead" from the 1640s, is a fascinating exploration of human compassion and biblical narrative. This art piece, rendered thoughtfully in brown ink, envelops the viewer in a scene of profound moral courage. The artwork illustrates the story of Tobit from the Apocrypha, who, despite the danger to himself, buries the bodies of executed compatriots, defying the king's decree that they remain unburied.In this drawing, Castiglione masterfully employs light and shadow to enhance the dramatic intensity of the scene. The central figure of Tobit is depicted with a grace that underscores his righteousness, surrounded by various figures who appear to be both participants and observers of the act. This variation in engagement reflects the complex societal reactions to Tobit’s deeds. The detailed architectural and natural elements in the background provide a rich, textured setting that contrasts with the somber activity at the forefront.Moreover, the artist's technique of using red chalk allows for a dynamic interplay of lines and forms, lending the composition a lively yet ephemeral quality, echoing the transient nature of life and the enduring spirit of virtue.

Artist
Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
All Artworks

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (23 March 1609 – 5 May 1664) was an Italian Baroque painter, printmaker and draftsman, of the Genoese school. He is best known now for his etchings, and as the inventor of the printmaking technique of monotyping. He was known as Il Grechetto in Italy and in France as Le Benédette.

He painted portraits, history paintings and landscapes, but came to specialize in rural scenes with more animals than human figures. Noah's ark and the animals entering the Ark was a favourite subject of his, and he devised a number of other new subjects from the early parts of the Old Testament with the patriarchs and their animals.
