# Tobias and the Angel with St Leonard and Donor [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ANDREA DEL SARTO]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Panel, 178 x 153 cm ## Commentary This medium-sized altarpiece on panel was painted for the church of Sta Lucia a Settimello, outside Florence, for the family altar of Leonardo Morelli. Tobias holds the hand of the Archangel Raphael at the right with the donor, richly dressed in a red cloak with fur trim, and his namesaint Leonard at the left. Tobias's little dog looks out at the viewer and wags his tail to add a sense of delightful immediacy to the work. St Leonard holds his attribute of prison fetters on top of a book rested on the arm of Tobias. The four youthful figures are set before an empty landscape and a uniform blue sky surmounted by a small, blessing Christ in Glory holding a Cross. Rather than the overall design, the innovative and vibrant aspects of the work are the treatment of colour and atmosphere. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(Poppi Altarpiece\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Baptism of the People]() - [Birth of the Virgin]() - [Charity]() - [Christ the Redeemer]() - [Disputation on the Trinity]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
