'''Raphael''' was a painter who created works highly prized by the [[20th century]]. During [[World War II]], the [[priest]] [[Father (title)|Father]] [[Antonio (Treasure Trail)|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]] [[Hermann Goering|Goering]] about their unexpected find. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Treasure Trail (comic story)|Treasure Trail]]'')
