"Tobias and the Angel" is a notable painting by Martin Johann Schmidt, an Austrian painter also known as "Kremser Schmidt" due to his association with the town of Krems. Born on September 25, 1718, Schmidt became renowned for his work in the Rococo style, and his paintings often featured religious themes, which were popular during the 18th century. The painting "Tobias and the Angel" depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, which tells the story of Tobias, who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael on a journey to collect a debt.

In the narrative, Raphael, who is disguised as a human companion, guides Tobias and later helps him to heal his father's blindness. This subject was a common theme in Christian art, symbolizing healing, guidance, and protection. Schmidt's interpretation of the scene is characterized by his use of vivid colors, detailed figures, and dynamic composition, which are hallmarks of his artistic style. The painting showcases his ability to blend the spiritual with the everyday, imbuing the scene with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Schmidt's career, when he was actively working on religious commissions for churches and monasteries. "Tobias and the Angel" is significant as it exemplifies Schmidt's contribution to the religious art of the period and provides insight into the cultural and spiritual life of 18th-century Austria.

The painting is also an important piece for understanding the broader context of European art history, as it reflects the transition from the Baroque to the Rococo style and the changing tastes of the era. Today, "Tobias and the Angel" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical and cultural significance, offering a window into the rich tapestry of European religious art.
