Summary |
Thirty years ago, a group of scholars believed to have identified features of systemic scleroderma in Archangel Raphael with Bishop Domonte (1680), a masterpiece by Seville-based painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682).

This case illustrates that caution and proper background work is warranted when it comes to iconodiagnosis.
