O soše
A damaged little figure rests in Michael’s right arm in Saint Michael the Archangel, a sculpture of about 1280 in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. It represents a soul under his protection on the way to heaven. The defeated dragon at his feet refers to his victory over the devil. The sculpture is believed to have come from the cloister of Saint-Mihiel, a former Benedictine monastery near Verdun in eastern France, dedicated to Michael. The French Revolution brought destruction to much of the abbey.
Slovy muzea
The Archangel Michael is shown here in his traditional role as the protector of souls who escorts the good into heaven. Though damaged, he holds the remnants of a small figure representing a human soul within his right arm. At his feet, the vanquished dragon symbolizes the saint’s defeat of evil in his struggle with the devil. This sculpture is believed to come from the cloister of the former Benedictine monastery of St.-Mihiel (dedicated to Saint Michael) in eastern France, near Verdun. Much of this abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution.
