Resumo

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). However, restoration of the artwork in 2003–2006 showed that the sitter had no feature of scleroderma and all the suspected lesions were merely artefactual. This case illustrates that caution and proper background work is warranted when it comes to iconodiagnosis.
