1984 acrylic 16x12.5

Roberta's Note: The great prince of all angels. His day is September 29. In the Middle Ages, he was looked on as the presiding spirit of the planet Mercury. In art, St. Michael is depicted as a beautiful young man winged and clad in either white garments or armor, bearing a lance and a shield with which he combats a dragon. In the final judgement, he is represented with scales in which he weighs the souls of the risen dead. This painting is a study of Raphael's beautiful St. Michael.
