Raphael (full title: "Raphael: Musical Scenes from the Renaissance"; Russian: Рафаэль: Музыкальные сцены из эпохи Возрождения; Italian: "Raffaello"), "op."
 37, is an opera in one act by Anton Arensky.
 The libretto, by A. A. Kryukov, is based on the life of the Renaissance artist Raphael.
 The opera was composed in 1894 for the First Congress of Russian Artists and dedicated to the Moscow Society of Lovers of the Arts.
 It premiered at the Moscow Conservatory on 6 May (old calendar: 26 April), with set-design by Leonid Pasternak; Yevgeniya Mravina took the role of Fornarina, Raphael's model and mistress.
 Arensky chose a work on non-Russian subject matter and distanced himself from the nationalistic tendencies of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov.
 "Raphael" was less well-received than its predecessor, Arensky's first opera "Dream on the Volga".
