"Tobiolo e L'angelo" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Antonio Balestra, who was active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Balestra, born in Verona in 1666, was a prominent figure in the Venetian art scene and is known for his contributions to religious and mythological painting. His style is characterized by a harmonious blend of Venetian colorism and the classical rigor of the Roman school, influenced by his studies under Carlo Maratta in Rome.

The painting "Tobiolo e L'angelo" depicts the biblical story of Tobias and the Angel, a popular subject in Christian art. This narrative, derived from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, tells the tale of young Tobias who, guided by the Archangel Raphael, embarks on a journey to retrieve a sum of money to help his blind father, Tobit. Along the way, Tobias catches a fish whose gall bladder, heart, and liver have healing properties, which ultimately cure his father's blindness and exorcise a demon from his future wife, Sarah.

Balestra's rendition of this story captures the moment of divine guidance and protection, emphasizing the spiritual and moral lessons inherent in the tale. The composition typically features the angel Raphael, identifiable by his wings and often holding a staff or fish, leading the young Tobias. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his delicate rendering of the figures, imbues the scene with a sense of divine presence and serenity.

"Tobiolo e L'angelo" exemplifies Balestra's mastery in combining narrative clarity with emotional depth, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre. The painting not only reflects the religious fervor of the Baroque period but also showcases Balestra's ability to convey complex theological themes through his art. This work remains an important example of Baroque religious painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
