"Tobias and the Angel" is a 1622 oil painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, a prominent figure of the Utrecht Caravaggisti during the Dutch Golden Age. This painting is one of the many interpretations of the biblical story of Tobias from the Book of Tobit, which was a popular subject among artists during the Baroque period due to its dramatic narrative and the opportunity it presented for depicting divine intervention in human affairs.

In the painting, van Baburen illustrates the moment when the young Tobias, accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, catches a fish that would later be used to heal his father's blindness. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by Caravaggio, whom van Baburen admired and emulated after his stay in Rome. The strong chiaroscuro and the intense emotional expressions of the figures reflect the Baroque interest in realism and the depiction of human emotion.

Van Baburen's "Tobias and the Angel" is notable for its detailed rendering of textures and the lifelike quality of the figures, as well as its composition, which draws the viewer's eye across the canvas to the interaction between the human and the divine. The painting is an example of the Northern Caravaggisti's contribution to the spread of Caravaggesque painting styles throughout Europe, and it showcases van Baburen's skill in merging the Italian influences with his own Dutch artistic heritage.

The work is held in high regard for its art historical significance and is often studied for its stylistic elements and contribution to the development of Dutch painting. "Tobias and the Angel" by Dirck van Baburen remains an important work for understanding the international exchange of artistic ideas in the 17th century and the impact of Caravaggio's followers on the evolution of European art.
