"Tobias and the Angel" is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Santi, also known as Giovanni di Santi or Sanzio (c. 1435 – 1494), who was the father of the renowned painter Raphael. The artwork depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions. The narrative involves the young Tobias, who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to collect a debt on behalf of his blind father, Tobit. The angel, disguised as a human companion, guides Tobias and later helps him to heal his father's blindness.

The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a common medium during the Italian Renaissance before the widespread adoption of oil painting. Giovanni Santi's work is characterized by its delicate use of color and clear narrative structure, which is evident in "Tobias and the Angel." The composition typically shows Tobias with a fish caught from the river Tigris, as the angel instructs him on how to use parts of the fish to cure his father's blindness and to drive away a demon that has plagued Sarah, Tobias's future wife.

While the exact date of the painting is uncertain, it is believed to have been created in the latter part of the 15th century, during Santi's mature period. The work is significant for its representation of the humanistic and religious themes prevalent in the Renaissance, as well as for its connection to the artistic lineage of Raphael.

"Tobias and the Angel" by Giovanni Santi is held in various collections, with versions of the subject attributed to him found in several museums. The attribution of specific versions to Santi has been a matter of art historical debate, as the painting was a popular subject during the Renaissance and many artists, including Santi's more famous son, have rendered their own interpretations of the story.

The painting is not only an example of Santi's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and spiritual life of the period. It reflects the Renaissance interest in biblical stories that emphasize moral virtues and divine guidance, themes that were central to the humanist thought of the time.
