"Tobias and the Archangel Raphael" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Pollaiolo, created around 1465-1470. Pollaiolo, known for his mastery in both painting and sculpture, was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene during the 15th century. This artwork exemplifies his skill in depicting dynamic figures and intricate details, hallmarks of his artistic style.

The painting illustrates a scene from the biblical Book of Tobit, where the young Tobias is guided by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to retrieve a sum of money to help his blind father, Tobit. In this narrative, Raphael, disguised as a human, accompanies Tobias and provides divine protection and guidance. The moment captured by Pollaiolo is rich with symbolic meaning, emphasizing themes of faith, divine intervention, and filial piety.

Pollaiolo's depiction is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the figures and the naturalistic landscape that serves as the backdrop. The artist's attention to anatomical precision and movement is evident in the graceful yet purposeful strides of both Tobias and Raphael. The archangel is often depicted with wings, signifying his celestial nature, while Tobias is shown carrying a fish, a reference to the miraculous healing properties it would later provide for his father’s blindness.

The painting is also notable for its use of color and light, which enhances the emotional and spiritual undertones of the scene. Pollaiolo's use of perspective and composition draws the viewer’s eye towards the interaction between the two central figures, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

"Tobias and the Archangel Raphael" is housed in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin, Italy. It remains an important work for its artistic merit and its reflection of the religious and cultural values of the Renaissance period. Pollaiolo's ability to blend narrative depth with technical prowess makes this painting a significant example of his contribution to Renaissance art.
