Italian 19th Century Marble Statue of Saint Michael Slaying the Dragon

About the Item

A stunning and very high quality Italian 19th century white Carrara marble statue of Saint Michael slaying the dragon. The statue is raised by a square base with a fine ground like design. Above is the striking and wonderfully executed Saint Michael wearing chain mail armor and a cloak with his impressive wings protruding at the back. He pins the dragon down with his foot while holding his sword in its mouth. Wonderful attention to detail throughout.

  • Saint George slaying the dragon, Flanders, 17th century
    Located in PARIS, FR
    Carved alabaster group, with base, representing Saint George slaying the dragon. Flanders, 17th c. Missing horse's tail, chips on the base and gluing (with original parts). Traces of polychromy and gold repairs. Beautiful, very expressive ensemble. In a legend, Saint George—a soldier venerated in Christianity—defeats a dragon. The story goes that the dragon originally extorted tribute from villagers. When they ran out of livestock and trinkets for the dragon, they started giving up a human tribute once a year. This was acceptable to the villagers until a princess was chosen as the next offering. The saint thereupon rescues the princess and kills the dragon. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend.
