Landscape with Tobias and the Angel

Andrea Locatelli (Rome 1695 – Rome 1741?). Oil painting on canvas, Landscape with Tobias and the Angel, by Andrea Locatelli (Rome 1695 – Rome 1741?) and possibly Pietro Bianchi (Rome 1694 - Rome 1740) for the figures. Tobias and the Angel in a wooded river landscape. Locatelli is essentially a landscape painter; it used to be thought that the figures in this picture must be by another hand such as Sebiastiano Conca or Carrado Giaquinto, but they are in fact of a quality that he himself was quite capable of attaining. The angel is telling Tobias that the gall-bladder of the miraculously-caught fish will cure his father's blindness. Hinton Ampner, Hampshire (Accredited Museum)
