Harvard Art Museums spotlight Heinrich Guttenberg's Tobias and the Angel

Original: Tobias and the Angel Heinrich Guttenberg (1749 - 1818), German 18th-19th century https://www. harvardartmuseums.org/coll

Tobias and the Angel, an 18th-to-early-19th-century work by the German artist Heinrich Guttenberg (1749-1818), is being shared from the Harvard Art Museums collection. The piece depicts the biblical story of Tobias journeying with the Archangel Raphael, a subject popular in European religious art. The sharing highlights the museums' online catalogue, which makes historical European works freely viewable by the public.

Why now: Randomly shared museum collection highlights are drawing attention to lesser-known historical religious artworks online.
