Raphael (painter)

Raphael was a painter who created works highly prized by the 20th century. During World War II, the priest Father Antonio, told Nazi officers who had invaded his church in northern Italy that there was a Raphael amongst the church's collection. When they doubted him, Antonio chastised them for not being able to recognise a Raphael, indicating the artist's relative fame. Impressed, the Nazis privately considered telling Reich-Marshal Goering about their unexpected find. (COMIC: Treasure Trail)
