"St. Michael The Neapolitan Santon "
St Michael slaying the dragon in polychrome terracotta, textile, and wood, eyes in sulphide, Neapolitan folk art of the 18th century, carrying the shield marked "quis ut deus": who is god, literal Hebrew translation of the name Michael. The absence of the attributes of St Michael the archangel, usually winged, can lead to confusion with St George. The photos show some breaks in the terracotta, traces of wear on the textile, and the absence of the spear - Visible in our gallery in Lille on 400 m2, open afternoons from Wednesday to Friday or by appointment
