EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Saint Michael" by Jose Rafael Aragon, a remarkable piece of art created around 1840. Painted with water-based paint on wood panel, this masterpiece measures 26x17.5 cm and is currently housed at The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The painting depicts Saint Michael, also known as San Miguel, the archangel who symbolizes triumph over evil. With his majestic wings spread wide and a fire-breathing monster beneath him, he wields a sword to slay the beast and protect humanity from its malevolence. Adorned with a crown and holding a shield and sceptre, Saint Michael exudes power and righteousness. A fusion of baroque style with elements of naive or folk art can be observed in this work. Its vibrant colors and intricate details reflect the influence of Spanish colonial art prevalent in Latin America during that era. "Saint Michael" holds great significance within Catholicism as an iconic figure representing divine judgment against evil forces. This painting exemplifies the rich religious heritage found throughout Mexico and other parts of Spanish America. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Saint Michael's heroic act, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith in overcoming adversity. Aragon's skillful brushwork brings to life this fictional character turned symbol for good prevailing over darkness.
