Italian artist Andrea del Sarto painted this altarpiece in 1512 for the silk merchant Leonardo di Lorenzo Morelli's family chapel in the church of San Lucia in Settimello near Florence. The scene shows the Archangel Raphael guiding young Tobias, accompanied by St. Leonard (the donor's patron saint) while Morelli himself kneels at the edge.
The composition fills most of the panel, which has a semicircular top. Raphael holds Tobias's hand protectively while the youth carries the fish whose organs will cure his father's blindness. St. Leonard stands beside them with broken chains, his traditional attribute as patron of prisoners.
The painting measures 178 by 153 centimeters and now hangs at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. It came there by exchange from Florence in 1792 after passing through Medici collections. Del Sarto trained the young Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, helping launch Mannerism from High Renaissance foundations.
