Arhanghelul Mihail is a work by Popa Gheorghe din Șerbeni, held at Alba Iulia Unification National Museum.
This painting shows a winged figure standing on clouds. The figure wears a bright red cloak over a green-and-gold outfit, with a golden halo around their head. In one hand, they hold a sword. In the other, they balance a set of scales. The background is a soft blue sky with fluffy white clouds, and the edges of the painting have a dark frame. The figure’s bare feet and simple but bold colors make it feel both powerful and calm. The scales and sword are classic symbols for justice and strength.
