Landscape with Tobias and the Angel is a large Baroque landscape painting created c. 1670 by the Southern Italian painter Salvator Rosa. Although principally a landscape painting, it elevates its status to a history painting by including the small figures of Tobias and the Angel, a Christian subject from the Book of Tobit, with the fish from the river Tigris. The painting is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 182.
