Book of Tobit · Guide, protector of travelers and healer
Raphael is best known from the Book of Tobit. In the guise of a traveler named Azarias, he accompanies young Tobit who has gone to collect a debt. At the edge of the Tiger, he orders him to seize a fish whose organs will be used to chase away the demon that torments Sara and restore sight to her father Tobit. Only after return and healing does he reveal his angelic identity. His name is traditionally interpreted as "God heals"; he becomes like this protector of travelers, young people and the sick. In Quattrocento Italy, Tobie and the Angel enjoyed great success with merchant families. The fish, the dog, the stick and the road tell the story immediately identifiable. Raphaël Sanzio, Andrea del Sarto, Botticelli and Le Sueur develop the family, devotional, protective and spectacular dimensions. The "Archangel Raphael" selection notably compares The Holy Family with Raphael, Tobias and Saint Jerome - Raphael Sanzio and Archangel Raphael with Tobit - Andrea del Sarto. Its reading favors atmosphere.
Raphael does not impose his power: he walks with Tobit, advises, protects and only reveals his nature once the journey is accomplished.
