"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 meticulous detail and use of light, which exemplifies Elsheimer's innovative approach to painting. The work depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, in which the young Tobias is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to collect a debt owed to his blind father.

In the painting, Elsheimer illustrates the moment when Tobias, unaware of Raphael's true identity, follows the angel's guidance to catch a fish that will later be used to heal his father's blindness. The composition is notable for its landscape setting, which showcases Elsheimer's skill in rendering nature and atmospheric effects. The figures are placed in a detailed and lush environment, with a river meandering into the background, leading the viewer's eye towards a distant, softly lit horizon.

Elsheimer's "Tobias and the Angel" is celebrated for its fusion of northern European detail with Italian chiaroscuro and colorism, reflecting the artist's synthesis of different artistic traditions. The work's small size and the use of copper as a support medium are characteristic of Elsheimer's oeuvre, allowing for a smooth surface that enhances the painting's luminosity and visual impact.

Today, "Tobias and the Angel" 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 role in the development of 17th-century landscape painting. Elsheimer's influence on his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists, particularly in his treatment of light and atmosphere, has been significant, with this painting standing as a prime example of his legacy.
