Archangel Michael weighing souls, detail from altar side panels by the Master of Soriguerola, late 13th century, Romanesque tempera painting on wood, from a church in the Ribes valley, Ripolles, in the Museu Episcopal de Vic, specialising in medieval liturgical catalan art, in Vic, Catalonia, Spain. The archangel holds a balance with a naked soul leaning towards salvation, while a demon with a hook tries to tip the balance to the other side. Picture by Manuel Cohen
