Getting started with the collection:
The Blindness of Tobit
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1651
Here we witness recognizable human emotions. When Anna, Tobit’s wife, tells him that she sees their long-awaited son, Tobias, arriving, he jumps up excitedly to meet him. However, he is blind and, in his haste, bumps into the door. Rembrandt etched this episode twice, first around 1629 and again in 1651.
