Is the famous Italian painter Raphael actually a Jew?
Raphael's Jewish statement actually comes from a sentence he once said, that is, "As a Jew, I mean that it is inappropriate for me to appear anywhere", and it is this sentence that puzzles people.

The reason why there was a Jew named Raphael started with his name. When he was born, his parents had lost two sons, so they wanted him to be safe, so they named him angel, which means angel in Italian.

The name Raphael comes from an archangel named Raphael (meaning "God's healing") in the Bible (all the main characters in the Bible are Jews, the Old Testament is the history book of Jews, and the New Testament is the biography of a Jew named Jesus). Just like all the names named after Michael today come from the archangel Michael in the Bible (Hebrew name, meaning "Who will be like God"). In addition, the famous statue of David, also carved by Michelangelo during the Renaissance, depicts King David of the United Kingdom of Israel (the father of Solomon) in the Old Testament.

It is precisely because of this that Raphael will explain his identity in a more literary form. In fact, he only said the name Raphael. Raphael really belongs to Italy.
