Salvatore di Franco (Nápoles activo entre 1770 y 1815) "San Miguel" Escultura de madera tallada y policromada
Salvatore di Franco (Naples active between 1770 and 1815)
"San Miguel"
Carved and polychrome wooden sculpture. Later period wings. Velvet dress with gold and silver threads and sequined breastplate, in her left hand a silver shield with the inscription in relief "Quis ut Deus" which means in Latin Who is like God? which is the literal translation of the Hebrew name Michael. The phrase often appears in religious iconography depicting Saint Michael the Archangel defeating the devil in the form of a serpent or dragon. In the right hand a sword also in silver.
Salvatore di Franco was a student of Giuseppe Sanmartino, known for his monumental sculptures in marble and stucco, techniques he also worked on himself, as well as figures for Bethlehem, like another of Sanmartino's disciples, Lorenzo Mosca, known above all for his figures for Bethlehem, beginning a saga of nativity scenes.
