Tobias and the Angel is an oil painting on panel of c. 1465–1470 by the Italian artists Antonio and Piero del Pollaiuolo, in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin.
The painting was mentioned by Giorgio Vasari as hanging on a pillar in the church of Orsanmichele in Florence, though he erroneously described it as being painted on canvas. Rediscovered in the Palazzo Tolomei on via Ginori in Florence by Gaetano Milanesi, it was acquired by Baron Hector de Garriod in 1865 for its present owner.[1]
