The painting presents characters clearly linked to the Roman culture of the 17th century and, in particular, to the works of Gaspard Dughet, an author who was able to achieve surprising results in describing the Lazio countryside with a unique grace and sensitivity.
Brother-in-law of Nicolas Poussin, of whom he was a pupil, Dughet is to be considered among the most important landscape painters of the Roman Baroque, highly sought after and celebrated by the aristocracy, a reference model for the artists of the following generation, such as Crescenzo Onofri, Jan Frans van Bloemen and Andrea Locatelli. His independent production began in the fourth decade, when the artist, following Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin, sought his inspiration by exploring the Roman countryside (he lived for a long time between Tivoli and Grottaferrata), studying from life the most evocative views, the light effects and lush vegetation.
The painting in question, of great scenic impact, is a fascinating example of his art: a real but idealized view of the Roman countryside, interpreted with Arcadian sensitivity, where the gaze can delve into depth following a rigorous perspective sequence and the cadence of the scenes arboreal.
The landscape also acts as a stage for the biblical episode of the Archangel Raphael who protects and indicates the right path to the boy Tobiolus: the meaning of this iconography has taken on a broader meaning over time, thus ending up becoming the emblem of the soul human protected by her guardian angel.
The tree-lined spots executed with a free and fast brushstroke, the warm and burnished colours, the atmospheric rendering of the rising clouds, all in a well-balanced composition of his landscapes of pastoral Arcadian taste, constitute the most significant elements of his painting , all well reproduced on our canvas too.
Some of his works are exhibited at the National Gallery in London (link: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/artists/gaspard-dughet) and at the Prado Museum (link: https://www.museodelprado.es/coleccion /obra-de-arte/magdalena-penitente/f76955ff-059c-47a0-ad81-cce4…)
The painting is in an excellent state of conservation, accompanied by a pleasant golden frame.

The work, like all our objects, is sold accompanied by a certificate of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law.
