The Falling Archangel...Beware from Above

The Falling Archangel... “Saint Michael the Archangel”


The Met Had Obtained an artwork of Andrea Della Robbia. Who was an Italian Renaissance Sculptor. The art piece was "Saint Michael the Archangel" It is 62" x 32" terra-cotta and weighs 217.7 lbs. It was mounted on the wall and on 2008 the Archangel fell from above. It happened at night so thankfully no one was injured. The Artwork was damaged in the accident, so the piece had to be restored. But though the artwork was damaged they were able to figure out how the artist made this piece. Beware from above; the Archangel Michael is watching and will smite you.
