Description
L’Archange Saint Michel Bonded Marble Angel Statue by Francisque-Joseph Duret (1804-1865). This sculptural detail from one of Paris’s most beloved landmarks, the Fontaine Saint-Michel (1860), is captured in three-dimensional detail in high-quality bonded natural marble. With sword held high in the final moment of Satan’s defeat, this museum-quality work of art is a testament to St. Michael’s strength and to the exquisite sculpture of Frenchman Duret. The Fontaine Saint-Michel was the centerpiece of Baron Haussmann’s Rapris Reconstruction during the Second Empire.
