 See Details

This panel is one of three that come from the lower tier of an altarpiece made for the Duke of Milan.  The Archangel Michael stands triumphant after his cosmic battle with the devil (Revelation 12: 16). A pair of scales, hanging on the tree stump to the left, are a symbol of Michael’s role in the judgement of souls after death, when good and evil deeds were weighed up.

Perugino has signed the painting just below the tree stump: PETRVS PERVSINV(S) / PINXIT.
