EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Michael weighing souls" by the Austrian School in the 15th century. Measuring at an impressive 90.2x75.6 cm, this tempera on panel painting is housed in the prestigious Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio, USA. The image depicts St. Michael, a powerful archangel and patron saint of warriors, engaged in a divine act of judgement. With his majestic wings spread wide and sword held high, he stands atop a celestial platform surrounded by heavenly creatures and angels. Intriguingly, St. Michael is seen delicately balancing scales that weigh the souls of both innocent children and sinful devils alike. This portrayal symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil within Christian theology. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an early Renaissance style infused with Northern European influences. The rich colors and intricate brushwork create a sense of depth while capturing every nuance of emotion on each figure's face. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to witness this profound moment where salvation hangs in balance under St. Michael's watchful eye. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the religious significance but also the artistic mastery behind this iconic representation of St. Michael's role as protector against satanic forces within Christianity.
