Saint Michael Archangel
Print Profile(1)
Description
Crowning the summit of Rome’s Castel Sant’Angelo, the iconic bronze statue of Saint Michael the Archangel is a breathtaking masterpiece. Sculpted by the Flemish artist Peter Anton von Verschaffelt in 1753, this majestic monument depicts the Archangel sheathing his sword. This powerful action commemorates a legendary vision from 590 AD, when Pope Gregory the Great saw the angel atop Hadrian's ancient mausoleum, signaling the miraculous end of a devastating Roman plague. Replacing several earlier fragile marble iterations, Verschaffelt’s dynamic and wind-swept bronze masterpiece remains an enduring, magnificent symbol of divine grace, protection, and the eternal beauty of the Roman skyline.
