EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts the powerful and iconic scene of Saint Michael the Archangel triumphantly standing on the head of the defeated devil, as he descends into the depths of hell. The oval composition, inspired by the renowned painting by Guido Reni, showcases the dynamic and intricate details of the figures. Saint Michael, with his wings spread wide and a sword in hand, embodies the strength and courage of good over evil. The devil, with his contorted form and snarling expression, represents the embodiment of sin and darkness. The contrast between the two figures creates a striking visual representation of the battle between good and evil in Christian theology. This print, an anonymous work from the 1600-1640 period, serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the past and the enduring power of religious symbolism in art.
