Venice - Church of the Archangel Raphael

(Local Name: Chiesa dell'Angelo Raffaele) This church was founded as early as the seventh century but the present building, which is rather austere, dates from the 17th century.

Inside in the organ-loft is a series of pictures depicting the story of Tobias. These important 18th century paintings are by one of the Guardi brothers, but it is not clear whether the artist was Giovanni Antonio Guardi or his younger brother Francesco.
