About the artwork
"Saint Michael with the dragon and other scenes" is a work by Wilhelm Süs. Religion, a short history: Buddhist painting, Hindu devotional imagery, and Islamic calligraphy and ornament each have conventions of their own. Religious painting is among the largest bodies of art ever made, from altarpieces, icons, and illuminated manuscripts to devotional prints. The catalogue places it in Religion. The format is landscape.
"Saint Michael with the dragon and other scenes" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Religious subjects rely on symbolism, gesture, and layered painterly drama, so they tend to read best in calm and composed interiors. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
