More about this artwork

"The Blindness of Tobias" is a compelling work by the Dutch symbolist Jan Toorop, created in 1896. This evocative painting embodies the narrative from the Apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Bible, focusing on the moment Tobit becomes blind after sparrow's droppings fall into his eyes.The artwork is executed with a vigorous and expressive line technique, using what appears to be charcoal and perhaps some ink, giving the piece a dramatic and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The composition is divided into two primary scenes; on the left, a figure kneels, possibly in despair, his back turned to the viewer. In the background, more figures are suggested, barely discernible, which may symbolize Tobit’s diminishing sight and his isolation from the world around him.To the right, another figure lies prostrate on the ground in a pose of vulnerability and abandonment. The ground and walls around the figures are depicted with stark, vertical, and diagonal lines, creating a sense of confinement and chaos, a physical reflection of Tobit's sudden misfortune and emotional turmoil.

Artist
Jan Toorop
All Artworks

Jan Toorop (1858–1928) was a 19-century Dutch-Javanese painter who extensively experimented with different artistic styles ranging from Realism, Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau to Pointillism. He was famous for using highly stylized slim figures and dynamic lines that were influenced by Indonesian motifs and curvilinear lines. His most famous poster artwork “Delft Salad Oil”, commissioned by The Dutch Oil Company, became so iconic that the Dutch Art Nouveau painting style is given the nickname "the salad oil style". Despite the fact that Toorop's expertise was in producing designs for marketing and advertisements, he also produced a number of fine art pieces that dealt with darker subjects including the human physche and emotions.
