EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Archangel Saint Michael, painted by Jose Rafael Aragon around 1840. The water-based paint on wood panel brings to life the powerful image of this iconic figure in Catholicism. Standing at 22.5 x 14.9 cm, this masterpiece is housed in The Barnes Foundation located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In this depiction, Archangel Saint Michael is portrayed as a fearless warrior, his wings spread wide and his sword raised high. With fiery breath and unwavering determination, he valiantly slays a menacing monster beneath him. This scene symbolizes the eternal battle between good and evil. The baroque style of painting adds a sense of grandeur to the composition, while intricate details such as the beast's heads and Saint Michael's crown showcase Aragon's skillful craftsmanship. This piece also reflects influences from Spanish America with its connection to Santero art traditions found in New Mexico and other regions. As an important religious figure within Christianity, Archangel Saint Michael represents divine judgment against the forces of darkness and serves as a protector against evil spirits. Through this stunning painting, viewers are reminded of the power that faith holds in overcoming adversity. With its rich history and cultural significance spanning across Latin America during the nineteenth century, this artwork stands as a testament to both artistic talent and spiritual devotion within Mexican society at that time.
