"Tobias and the Angel" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco Ubertini, known as Bacchiacca II (1494–1557). This artwork is one of the many interpretations of the biblical story from the Book of Tobit, which recounts the tale of a young man named Tobias who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to collect a debt for his blind father, Tobit. Along the way, Raphael, who is disguised as a human companion, guides Tobias through various trials and ultimately helps him to heal his father's blindness.

Bacchiacca II was a Florentine painter and draftsman who trained under Perugino and was influenced by other prominent artists of the time, such as Andrea del Sarto and Jacopo Pontormo. His work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and a blend of traditional Florentine and Northern Renaissance styles. "Tobias and the Angel" exemplifies Bacchiacca's skill in composition and his ability to infuse his subjects with both narrative depth and emotional resonance.

The painting likely dates from the mid-16th century, a period when Bacchiacca was actively producing religious works for patrons in Florence. It would have been intended for private devotion or as part of a larger decorative scheme in a church or family chapel. The artwork typically depicts Tobias and the Angel in a landscape setting, with Tobias holding a fish that plays a significant role in the story – its gall is used to cure Tobit's blindness.

As with many Renaissance paintings, "Tobias and the Angel" by Bacchiacca II would have been rich in symbolism and allegory, reflecting the religious and moral values of the time. The exact location of the original painting and its provenance may not be well-documented, and the work's current whereabouts could be unknown or held in a private collection. If the painting is in a public collection, it would likely be a point of interest for scholars studying the Florentine Renaissance and the representation of biblical narratives in art.

The painting's significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of Bacchiacca's contribution to the Renaissance movement in Florence. It serves as an example of the diffusion of artistic ideas and the blending of influences that characterized this period of art history.
