The artwork titled “Tobiolo e i Tre Arcangeli” was created by Filippino Lippi in 1485. This piece belongs to the Early Renaissance art movement and falls within the genre of religious painting.
This religious artwork presents a scene depicting four figures: three archangels and a young boy named Tobiolo. The four figures are positioned in a landscape, with a distant town visible in the background. The archangels are easily distinguished by their ethereal wings and are outfitted in various robes, each carrying symbolic items – a staff, a fish, and a flower. Tobiolo, denoted by his youthful appearance and red tunic, also holds a fish. The depiction is serene, with an emphasis on the graceful interaction between the characters and their surroundings, highlighted by soft, harmonious colors emblematic of the Early Renaissance period.
