"Michael the Archangel: A Divine Warrior Defeating Evil" In the realm of art, it has been depicted as a powerful force against darkness and evil. From Rubens to Bruegel, Maffei to Giordano, his triumphs have been immortalized on canvas throughout history. One such masterpiece is "The Fall of the Damned" by Rubens. Painted in 1620, it portrays Michael's role in casting down those who rebelled against God. Similarly, Bruegel's "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" captures this celestial battle with intricate detail and vivid colors. Francesco Maffei's artwork titled "Saint Michael Vanquishing Satan" showcases our hero overpowering the embodiment of evil himself. Meanwhile, Luca Giordano's piece from 1657 depicts Michael defeating rebellious angels with divine might. Even earlier works like "The Fall of Lucifer, " an anonymous illustration from a Book of Hours dating back to 1500, emphasize Michael's pivotal role in cosmic conflicts between good and evil. Moving beyond paintings, Rome offers its own tribute to this archangel through its iconic view over the Tiber towards Castel Sant Angelo. This fortress was originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian but later became associated with Saint Michael due to legends surrounding his apparitions atop its battlements. Further historical depictions can be found in engravings like Paul Lacroix's work published in 1493 or Ercole de Roberti’s painting from ca 1472-1473. These pieces capture both medieval beliefs about Antichrist and St. Michael’s victory over rebel angels during that era. Artists like Alexandre Cabanel and Orazio Gentileschi continued portraying this celestial warrior well into more recent times while Arnold Rechberg’s c. 1910 artwork called “The Damned” adds a haunting touch to our understanding of Michael's eternal battle.
