Michael also has a role in the Last Judgment - according to a painting I
saw in Pisa - directing the sorting out of the blessed from the damned
when the dead are raised. Is that common or peculiar to the painting in
question?

ps The Walters Art Gallery here in Baltimore has a painting of Santa
Francesca Romana receing communion & being consecrated. The curator's
label says that this was one of a series of paintings set up by her tomb
ca. 1455. Has anyone else run into other paintings from this cycle?
