The Archangel Raphael and Tobias

The Archangel Raphael and Tobias is a c.1465–1470 oil on panel painting by Piero del Pollaiolo, now in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin.

It was mentioned by Giorgio Vasari as hanging on a pillar in the church of Orsanmichele in Florence, though he erroneously described it as painted on canvas. Rediscovered in the Palazzo Tolomei on via Ginori in Florence by Gaetano Milanesi, baron Hector de Garriod acquired it in 1865 for its present owner.[1]
