The Seven Archangels (M 034; Engraving) Ornament Aus Metall
In this engraving of heaven by Hieronymus [Jerome] Wierx from c. 1600, the focus is on the Archangels. + The Seven Archangels, their names inscribed in their haloes, are depicted with their attributes. Reading from left to right, the Archangels are as follows: St. Raphael (“God Heals”) bears an apothecary’s jar and holds the hand of the youth Tobias who carries a fish. With a salve made from fish guts, St. Raphael healed Tobias’s father of blindness and his future wife from possession by a demon. Uriel (or Ariel; “God Is My Light”) wields a sword. He may have expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after The Fall. A flame burns at his feet. St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) is usually portrayed with a spray of lilies. Here, however, he carries a lantern that bounces light off a mirror of jasper. The lantern symbolizes the Word of God; and, the mirror of jasper--a mineral with occlusions that nevertheless takes on a reflective sheen when polished—symbolizes our flawed understanding of God’s nature. In the center, a tall, armor-clad St. Michael (“Who Is Like God?”) carries a battle standard and palm of victory. He crushes Lucifer in the guise of a dragon underfoot. Sealtiel (“Prayer for God”), here with eyes raised, folds his hands in prayer in front of his chest. Jehudiel (“God’s Justice”) carries a crown and a scourge (the heavenly equivalent of a carrot and a stick). And, finally, Barachiel (“God’s Blessings”) holds out a fold of his mantle filled with flowers for strewing or dispensing. + The engraving was inspired by two Biblical passages--Apoc. 1:4 and Psalm 137:1-2--that appear in Latin beneath the image on the original print (not visible in this detail). + Joint Feast of SS. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael: September 29 + Image Credit (M 034): Detail of an antique Flemish Northern Renaissance engraving of St. Michael and Archangels (The Seven Archangels), by Hieronymus [Jerome] Wierx, originally published with privilege by Piermans, Antwerp, Belgium, c. 1600, from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Elisha Whittelsey Collection, The Elisha Whittelsey Fund, 1951, 51.501.6402.
