The Archangel Michael Banishing Vice, 1782
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Franz Ludwig Hermann. This 18th-century masterpiece depicts the iconic archangel in all his glory as he valiantly banishes vice from the world. Clad in shimmering armor and wielding a mighty sword, Michael stands tall with unwavering determination. The vibrant blue and green washes, highlighted with white gouache, bring this scene to life, adding depth and intensity to every brushstroke. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of Michael's wings and the menacing serpent he triumphantly crushes beneath his feet. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an epic battle between good and evil. The concept of banishment resonates strongly as Michael symbolizes not only religious devotion but also courage and righteousness. Hermann's skillful portrayal captures both the divine power of an angelic being and the human-like qualities that make him relatable. In this image, we see not just an archangel but a warrior fighting for justice on behalf of humanity. This remarkable piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it serves as a testament to Hermann's talent as well as our enduring fascination with themes of faith, warfare, and virtue.
