EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saints Michael and Engracia" by Juan de la Abadia. Painted during the late 15th to early 16th century, this tempera on gold ground panel depicts a triumphant scene filled with symbolism. In the center, Saint Michael, a winged warrior saint, stands tall in his gleaming armor. With a balance in one hand and a spear in the other, he triumphantly weighs the souls of humanity against evil forces represented by an embossed devil beneath his feet. The golden scales symbolize justice while his wings signify divine protection. Beside him stands Saint Engracia, a martyr saint holding a palm branch as a sign of victory over death. She bravely stabs at an imposing monster with her nail-like weapon, representing her unwavering faith and determination to overcome adversity. The medieval influences are evident through the intricate details of their attire and weaponry. The gilt accents add richness to their garments while emphasizing their celestial nature. This renaissance painting captures both spiritual devotion and artistic mastery. Its vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring these saints to life as they embody courage, righteousness, and ultimate triumph over darkness. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe for its profound religious significance and timeless beauty.
