'Cardboard for the windows of the Chapel of St. Ferdinand St. Raphael Archangel' is a captivating work that merges religious painting with elements of Neoclassicism. The artwork vividly portrays the Archangel Raphael, a central figure often depicted in religious painting, with hints of Neoclassicist aesthetics in its detailed and unembellished portrayal of the figure. Despite these fundamental Neoclassicist attributes, a surreal aura pervades the painting due to its dreamy and imaginative usage of colors and sequences. This juxtaposition represents the artist's brilliant blending of a Neoclassicism style with a Religious painting subject, yielding an extraordinary piece.
