ANDREA DI LIONE. Tobit Burying the Dead

Tobit Burying the Dead. Artist: Andrea di Lione (Italian, Naples 1610-1685 Naples). Dimensions: 50 1/4 x 68 1/2 in. (127.6 x 174 cm). Date: 1640s.
The cloaked figure is Tobit, a devout Jew who in defiance of Sennacherib's orders directed the burial of the Jews whom the king had killed outside the walls of Nineveh (Tobit I:17-20). Andrea di Lione was in Rome in the 1640s, where he knew both Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione and Nicolas Poussin, and this work is indebted to both of those artists.
