This unique oil will make a valuable and rare asset to any art/religious collection. In our painting the Archangel Michael is exquisitely depicted.Michael ("Who is as God?"), the greatest of the archangels, whether in Jewish, Christian or Mohammedan writings, occurs frequently both in painting and statuary in Alto Peru.In Spanish America, it was customary for every town to select a guardian saint. Besides Our Lady, patroness of all the Americas, Michael was perhaps the most popular figure.Our St Michael is imposing, with a beautiful gown. His powerful wings add to his martial appearance. His regal, exquisite brocade clothing is embellished with bronze leaf. Saint Michael Archangel is an exquisite example of several characteristics of the Cuzco School; the plumes on his helmet, the beautiful coloring of the wings, and the stenciled patterns in gold that enliven the surface of the garments and armor of the angel.
