Michael
Michael is a subject in art. The gallery holds 44 works in this subject in art, including works by Peter Paul Rubens, Albrecht Dürer and Octave Tassaert.
Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל; Aramaic: ܡܝܟܐܝܠ, romanized: Mīkhāʼēl) is a common masculine given name usually thought to be from the Hebrew rhetorical question מי כאל (mī kāʼēl), "Who like El?", thus being a theophoric name whose answer is "there is none like El", or "there is none as famous and powerful as God." This question is known in Latin as Quis ut Deus? Paradoxically, the name is also sometimes interpreted as "One who is like God." An alternative spelling of the name is Micheal.
