"Raphael and Tobias (on the pillar)" is a fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Benozzo di Lese di Sandro Gozzoli, commonly known as Benozzo Gozzoli, between 1464 and 1465. This artwork is part of a larger decorative scheme in the Campo Santo, a monumental cemetery in Pisa, Italy. Gozzoli, a pupil of Fra Angelico, is renowned for his detailed and vibrant frescoes, which often depict religious themes with a rich narrative quality.

The fresco illustrates the biblical story of Tobias and the Archangel Raphael, a popular subject in Christian art. According to the Book of Tobit, Tobias is guided by Raphael on a journey to retrieve a sum of money and is taught how to use a fish to cure his father's blindness. This narrative was frequently depicted during the Renaissance as it symbolized divine guidance and protection.

In "Raphael and Tobias (on the pillar)," Gozzoli captures a moment of the journey with meticulous attention to detail and a vivid use of color. The figures are rendered with a sense of movement and grace, characteristic of Gozzoli's style. The fresco is notable for its composition, which integrates the figures harmoniously with the architectural elements of the pillar, demonstrating Gozzoli's skill in creating a cohesive visual narrative within a confined space.

The work is part of Gozzoli's extensive contributions to the decoration of the Campo Santo, where he painted a series of frescoes depicting various biblical scenes. These frescoes are celebrated for their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the artist's ability to convey complex theological themes through accessible and engaging imagery.

"Raphael and Tobias (on the pillar)" exemplifies Gozzoli's mastery in fresco painting and his ability to infuse religious stories with a sense of immediacy and human emotion. The fresco remains an important example of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's artistic innovations and the enduring appeal of biblical narratives in visual culture.
