This detail (1525–27) shows the Archangel Raphael with gilded curls and extended wings guiding Tobias. The controlled posture and downward gaze demonstrate Veronese’s precision in balancing movement and restraint. The figure unites spiritual authority with Renaissance ideals of proportion and composure, showing divine order through measured grace.
