Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of a Collection of Byzantine, Early Italian, German and Flemish Pictures: Belonging to His Serene Highness Prince Louis D'~ttingen Wallerstein
On either side of him are two Angels and two Saints in Greek episcopal robes, with their names; two of them holding open books, with Greek inscriptions. Beyond these four Saints, on each side, stands a female figure without either glory of name. In the foreground the Archangel St. Michael bends forward to strike off with his sword the hands of the High Priest Adonijah, who is on the point of profaning the bier of the Virgin. Each Apostle has his name inscribed within his nimbus, and over the High Priest is his name, also in Greek. The whole group is separated from the back-ground by a blue arch; several buildings are seen beyond, by which Jerusalem is intended. On wood, with a gilt border of 1 - 5 inch. Size 115} inches by 10% inches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
