Active Archangel Balance Christian Collection Devil Driven Foot Hand Head Holds Juan Martyr Michael Nail Palm Private Souls Spear Weighing Wood Abadia Engracia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Juan de la Abadia, a talented artist active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Titled "St Michael and St Engracia" this oil on wood masterpiece is housed in a private collection. The focal point of this painting is the Archangel Michael, depicted with his foot triumphantly placed upon a defeated devil. In one hand, he firmly grasps his spear, poised to strike down evil forces. In the other hand, he holds a delicate balance used for weighing men's souls—a powerful symbol of judgment and divine justice. Standing beside St Michael is St Engracia, whose story is equally compelling. She bears witness to her martyrdom through a nail driven into her head—an act that demonstrates her unwavering faith and commitment to Christianity. Clutching a martyrs palm as an emblem of victory over suffering, she stands tall alongside the archangel. Juan de la Abadia's attention to detail brings these religious figures to life with vibrant colors and intricate brushwork. This profound portrayal serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil within human existence. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in its spiritual significance while marveling at its artistic brilliance.
