Tobiah and the Angel
1550
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Tobiah and the Angel is a 1550 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows two men walking outdoors. One wears a long coat and hat, carrying a staff. The other is dressed simply, holding something small in his hands. Behind them, a dark forest meets a distant village with a few buildings and trees. The contrast between light and shadow is sharp, especially on their faces and clothes. This style makes the figures stand out against the gloomy background. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
