"Tobias and the Angel" is a notable oil painting created around 1740 by the Italian Rococo artist Corrado Giaquinto. The painting depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions. The narrative centers on the young Tobias, who, accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, embarks on a journey to collect a debt on behalf of his blind father, Tobit. Unbeknownst to Tobias, Raphael is a heavenly guardian sent to guide and protect him.

Giaquinto's interpretation of this biblical episode is characterized by his dynamic and elegant style, with a harmonious blend of vibrant colors and fluid brushwork that were typical of the Rococo period. The painting captures the moment of interaction between the human and the divine, emphasizing themes of guidance, protection, and faith. The angel is often depicted in a protective stance, guiding Tobias who may be shown carrying a fish, an important element of the story that later serves as a means to heal his father's blindness.

As a prominent painter of his time, Corrado Giaquinto was known for his religious compositions, frescoes, and decorative works that adorned many churches and palaces throughout Italy and Spain. "Tobias and the Angel" is considered one of his significant religious works, showcasing his ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through art.

The painting is an example of Giaquinto's mature period, where his mastery of light, color, and composition is evident. It reflects the transition in European art from the grandeur of the Baroque to the more ornate and playful Rococo style. Today, the artwork is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its contribution to the understanding of 18th-century religious art. It remains an important piece for studying the cultural and artistic context of the period, as well as Giaquinto's own artistic evolution and influence.
