Bernardo Strozzi - The healing of Tobia (c. 1635)


The important cities in Bernardo Strozzi's biography were Genoa (hometown), Venice (where he will learn the use of color and where he will renew the school) and Rome (where he met Caravaggio during a trip).
The background of the work is Caravaggesque as a shade, the scene has the study of color and light typical of the Venetian School.
The story is easy, because it is faithful to the sacred text.
Little known perhaps but he was the most important painter in the Genoese and Venetian areas.
