Description from the seller

Bronze sculpture depicting Saint Michael the Archangel in the act of killing the devil.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
..has been the patron saint of the State Police since 1949.
We encounter him five times in the Bible; we know his literary image in the Divine Comedy: he is the heavenly messenger who descends from Paradise to open to the poet and his guide the doors to the city of Dis, while "full of disdain" he takes the occasion to reaffirm the definitive defeat of the spirits of evil and their powerlessness before the divine will [Inferno, canto IX, 64-105].
This is a bronze statue produced using the lost-wax casting technique.
Italian origin, late 20th century.

Good condition except for a few small marks due to age.
Height: 70 cm
