Tobias and the Archangel Gabriel
Period: Antique Painting – 18th Century
Medium: Oil on original canvas
Dimensions:
Height: 178 cm
Width: 126 cm
This antique oil painting on its original canvas, titled "Tobias and the Archangel Gabriel", depicts a scene from the Book of Tobit, where the young Tobias receives guidance and counsel from the Archangel Gabriel. The composition is marked by a masterful use of light and shadow, creating an almost magical atmosphere. The artist employs vivid colours and a fluid painting technique to highlight the expressions of the figures and the emotional connection between them.
The interaction between Tobias and the angel is rendered through open and welcoming gestures, conveying a sense of comfort and divine protection.
The work not only captures a moment of personal transition for Tobias but also reflects the cultural context of the 18th century, when religious narratives were reinterpreted through a new visual language aimed at engaging the viewer emotionally. "Tobias and the Archangel Gabriel" is a quintessential example of 18th-century painting, blending storytelling, symbolism, and stylistic innovation. It emphasises the dialogue between the human and the divine during a period of artistic evolution, mirroring the cultural and social changes of its time.

Louis XIV Walnut Chest of Drawers
Cacciata dal Paradiso
ButtonLouis XIV walnut chest of drawers, measuring 128 cm in length, 65 cm in depth, and 104 cm in height. This piece is typical of antique furniture from the Baroque period and represents an important expression of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship, particularly from central Italy.
This antique chest, featuring side doors and front drawers, reflects not only the artisan skill of the time but also the cultural and social influences of a vibrant historical era.
The reign of Louis XIV, King of France from 1643 to 1715, had a significant impact on decorative arts across Europe.
Chests of drawers from this period are distinguished by their solid construction and use of fine materials such as walnut. The presence of side doors provides additional storage space, while the front drawers remain as practical and functional today as they were in their original domestic contexts.
Their purpose went beyond mere practicality—they also served to convey the prestige of the family that owned them.
During social gatherings, the chest could also serve as a surface for displaying valuable objects such as artworks, silverware, and porcelain, showcasing the refined taste of the owners.
The furnishings of that era were carefully curated down to the smallest details, creating elegant and evocative atmospheres.
The Louis XIV chest of drawers from central Italy is a symbol of a golden age for art and craftsmanship. The combination of functionality and beauty, enriched by deep cultural influences, continues to inspire admiration and interest, making it a highly valuable item for collectors and art enthusiasts. Its story is not just that of a piece of furniture, but a reflection of an entire era and the social and cultural transformations that defined it.
