Ærkeenglen Raphael 1756 - 1759

"Ærkeenglen Raphael" (1756-1759) is a small oil painting by Danish artist Peder Als. It depicts the archangel Raphael, a figure from the Book of Tobit, holding a disk in his hand. The painting, which is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is notable for its detailed representation of Raphael's features and the soft, delicate handling of light and shadow. This work demonstrates Als's skill in capturing the grace and beauty of a divine being through a realistic and intimate portrait.
