Description
Archangel Michael on Judgment Day. Michael is patron saint of the church militant (the church on earth, in contrast to the church triumphant, the heavenly church). Michael holds the scales that weigh souls on Judgment Day. Dressed in military armor and with a sword (the wings distinguish him as an angel, so as not to confuse him with other monster-slayers such as St. George), Michael vanquishes the devil. His slaying of the devil represents the overcoming of evil, and this battle also reflects the battle between Christ and Antichrist.
Creator
Possibly the work of the Master of Petrarch's Triumphs or a follower, or Master of Morgan 85
