"Tobias and the Angel" is a painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, created around 1602 during the artist's stay in Rome. This small-scale oil-on-copper artwork measures 27 cm by 20 cm and is renowned for its intricate detail and use of light, which showcases Elsheimer's skill in rendering nocturnal scenes. The painting depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, in which the Archangel Raphael, disguised as a human, accompanies Tobias on a journey to collect a debt for his blind father, Tobit.

In Elsheimer's rendition, Tobias is seen drawing a fish from the river, an act that Raphael had instructed him to do because parts of the fish would later be used to heal his father's blindness and to drive away a demon. The composition is notable for its fusion of landscape and narrative, with a meticulous attention to naturalistic details and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. The figures are gracefully integrated into the landscape, emphasizing the harmony between the human and natural worlds.

Elsheimer's "Tobias and the Angel" is celebrated for its pioneering depiction of naturalistic night scenes, which would later influence Baroque artists such as Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain. The painting is also significant for its early use of chiaroscuro, a technique that became a hallmark of Baroque art. Today, the work is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of this biblical story.
