"Tobias and the Angel" is a celebrated oil-on-copper painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, created around 1602. The painting, measuring 27 cm × 20 cm (approximately 10.6 in × 7.9 in), is housed in the National Gallery in London. Elsheimer, known for his small-scale, highly detailed works, was a pivotal figure in the transition from Mannerism to Baroque, and his influence extended to many of his contemporaries and successors, including Rembrandt and Rubens.

The artwork depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, found in the Old Testament of the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles. The narrative follows young Tobias, who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, disguised as a human, on a journey to collect a debt for his blind father, Tobit. Along the way, Tobias is instructed by Raphael to catch a fish whose organs have medicinal properties capable of curing his father's blindness and driving away a demon.

Elsheimer's rendition of the scene is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth. The landscape in the background is rendered with atmospheric perspective, giving the scene a sense of vastness that contrasts with the intimate foreground interaction between Tobias and the angel. The painting is also remarkable for its depiction of natural elements, such as water and foliage, which showcase Elsheimer's skill in rendering textures and reflections.

"Tobias and the Angel" is a prime example of Elsheimer's mastery of narrative and landscape painting, and it reflects the artist's innovative approach to light, which would go on to influence the development of nocturnal scenes in European art. The work is a testament to Elsheimer's legacy as an artist who, despite his brief career, left an indelible mark on the history of painting.
