Painting Description
"St. Michael" is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, created circa 1469. This artwork is part of a polyptych known as the "Montefeltro Altarpiece," originally located in the church of San Bernardino, Urbino. The altarpiece was commissioned by Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, a prominent patron of the arts and a leading figure of the Italian Renaissance.
The painting depicts the Archangel Michael, a common subject in Christian art, known for his role as a warrior and protector, often represented defeating Satan. In Piero della Francesca's interpretation, St. Michael is portrayed with elegance and serenity, characteristic of the artist's style. He stands in a classical contrapposto stance, wearing elaborate armor that reflects Piero's interest in perspective and the effects of light. The armor's intricate design and the delicate rendering of the angel's features showcase the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of oil painting techniques.
"St. Michael" is celebrated for its mathematical precision and use of geometric forms, which contribute to the harmonious and balanced composition typical of Piero della Francesca's work. The painting's color palette is subdued yet rich, with a predominance of cool hues that enhance the figure's celestial nature.
As part of the Montefeltro Altarpiece, "St. Michael" was originally displayed alongside other panels, including the central image of the Madonna and Child, and flanked by saints. The polyptych was dismantled in the early 20th century, and its panels are now dispersed across several museums. "St. Michael" is currently held in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be admired for its artistic significance and as a prime example of Piero della Francesca's contribution to the Renaissance art movement.
