Three Angels and Young Tobias

Three Archangels with Young Tobias is a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Filippino Lippi, made around 1485. It is oil on panel, 100 cm by 127 cm (39 in by 50 in), and is in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin. The picture shows three archangels—Michael on the left, Raphael in the center, and Gabriel holding a lily—together with a young Tobias, son of Tobit, set against a rocky landscape. The scene is inspired by Botticini's Voyage of Tobias, which was in Florence and is now in the Uffizi, while the angels resemble those Lippi painted in the Liberation of St. Peter in the Brancacci Chapel. The work was once thought to be by Botticelli or his workshop.
