St. Michael

The 'St. Michael' by Piero della Francesca is an exemplar of Early Renaissance in the genre of religious painting. Renowned for his calm humanism and geometrical forms, della Francesca brings forth these traits in the depiction of the archangel. This piece, painted with tempera on panel, is a testament to the artist's mastery of perspective, his talent as a mathematician and geometer beautifully intertwined with his craft. His meticulous attention to detail, visible in the intricate armour of the saint, imbues the serene piece with a divine aura, befitting the celestial subject.
