"Tobiolo e l'Angelo" (Tobias and the Angel) is a notable painting by the Italian artist Francesco de Mura (1696–1782), a prominent painter of the late Baroque and early Rococo periods. De Mura, born in Naples, was a pupil of Francesco Solimena and became one of the leading Neapolitan painters of his time, known for his elegant and refined style, which was characterized by soft colors and graceful figures.

The painting depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions. The narrative follows young Tobias (Tobiolo in Italian), who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, disguised as a human companion, on a journey to collect a debt for his blind father, Tobit. Along the way, Raphael guides Tobias to catch a fish whose organs have medicinal properties capable of curing his father's blindness and driving away a demon that has been tormenting Sarah, Tobias's future wife.

De Mura's rendition of this biblical episode is imbued with a sense of divine guidance and protection, as the angel gently leads Tobias. The work is exemplary of de Mura's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the interaction between the human and divine realms. The painting's composition, use of color, and the depiction of the landscape reflect the artist's mastery of the Rococo style, with its emphasis on lightness and grace.

"Tobiolo e l'Angelo" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of religious themes that were common in the art of the period. The painting is an important example of de Mura's religious works and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and spiritual milieu of 18th-century Italy.

While the exact date of creation is not specified, "Tobiolo e l'Angelo" is often considered one of de Mura's mature works, reflecting the full development of his artistic abilities. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is frequently studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
