Venetian art of the 17th century
Measurements cm: H.85 L. 40 Depth 22 kg. 40
A magnificent white stone sculpture depicting Saint Michael in his characteristic Warrior costume.
It represents the victory of Good over Evil, the Divine Force that crushes and defeats Satan, pushing him back into hell.
He is the leader of the Celestial Militia, victor over the rebel Lucifer, the most powerful of all the Angels, the closest to God, the one who protects from Satan and his temptations, coming to our aid in times of need.
The famous phrase "Quis ut Deus?" is engraved on his shield, a Latin phrase which literally translated means "who is like God?" which the Archangel uttered when he attacked Lucifer when he questioned the power of God.
The work, of convent origin, is part of the Venetian sculpture of the early 1600s and is sculpted with great scenic effect in the typical white stone of Vicenza, widely used by Venetian artists for its limestone composition, therefore soft and easy to work.
The statue originally had a polychrome surface, of which extensive traces still remain.
The general conditions are very good despite its prolonged exposure even in open places.
