Hear pal excited by this angelic artist (7)
I believe the answer is:
raphael
'this angelic artist' is the definition.
'raphael' can be an answer for 'artist' (Italian painter, 1483-1520). I am not sure about the 'this angelic' bit.
'hear pal excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'hear'+'pal'='hearpal'
'hearpal' is an anagram of 'RAPHAEL'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raphael that I've seen before include "Angel; Italian painter" , "responsible for many religious works" , "Archangel - artist" , "A Renaissance artist" , "Painter of the Sistine Madonna" .)
