The Three Archangels with Tobias by Francesco Botticini (1467)
Gabriel the messenger, on the right, holds a lily; referencing the purity of the Virgin Mary.  On the left Michael, the great warrior and protector who slays the fallen angel, the Devil.  Wearing his customary suit of armor and carrying an unsheathed sword and a golden apple globe, symbolizing his protection of the world.  Raphael the healer is shown at the center with his medicines.  He is accompanied by the young Tobias carrying a fish whose innards will be to cure his father, the blind Tobit.
