Rafael, como Graziella, forma parte de las Confidencias de Lamartine. Aparte, pues, de su méri o literario, esta novelita, o poema en prosa, tiene un gran valor histórico. Es un trozo autobiográfico que no sólo interesa a los admiradores de Lamartine, sino a todo el que desee estudiar su época.

Hay en Rafael dos figuras de primer término tan amplia y minuciosamente dibujadas, que casi llenan todo el cuadro: Julia y Rafael. Julia es aquella misma Elvira en quien Lamartine encar nó un amor extrahumano, comparable a los más delirantes amores de la literatura universal. Rafael es el propio Lamartine, poetizado unas veces, y retratado otras sobria y exactamente.

Las figuras secundarias, esbozadas apenas, pertenecen todas a la historia literaria y cientifica de Francia. Ellas son las que dan al relato, en ciertos puntos, realidad y autenticidad indiscutibles. Es particularmente notable la alusión a monsieur D***—el famoso editor francés Fermin Didot—, que tan fría repulsa dió al primer volumen de versos del que luego había de ser gloria inmarcesible de la literatura de su patria.

Como en casi todas las obras del gran poeta francés, el fondo del cuadro, brillante y deslumbrador, es la Naturaleza. Raros son los instantes en que las dos grandes figuras del cuadro no aparecen dibujadas sobre un fondo de olas, cielo o bosques. Son, por lo tanto, frecuentes las oca siones en que la inspiración de Lamartine llega a las más altas cimas del lirismo.

Para los lectores que conocen Graziella, Rafael es un complemento. Para los demás, una revelación del alma, llena de pasión y ternura, del cantor de Elvira.
