ST MICHAEL DEFEATS SATAN

From our fourth day in Rome.
I will not bore you with many pictures from the Palazzo Venezia museum which was packed with statues of all kinds of material, paintings, silver ornaments, ceramics ect. But I have to share at least one picture from all those I took. I chose this one because I really loved it.
The sculpture in wood is by Michael Pacher (never heard the name) and dates from the late 15th century. It represents St Michael defeating Satan – details in the plaque in front of the statue.
Thank you so much for your visits, comments and fav's.

I love your POV on this - and the way you've created empty space with your collage.

I can't believe this is a wood carving! So deserving of a major place in your album! fav

A lovely sculpture

[Pat Knowles]

The plain colour you have added does so much for this image. I know the statue is the main subject so don’t want to take away from that but the inclusion of this blending background is very artistic. That face is simply sublime! Fave.

Defeat ? He is still among us .
Great shot and framing of this nice statue .Fav.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very dramatic! (Although I'm pretty sure it's Jesus who defeats Satan!- but beautiful none the less.)

[Harry J Benson]

Beautiful carving, stands out on the black

[Faye Turner]
