EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Archangel Michael" painted by Theodore Poulakis during the second half of the 17th century. Housed in the prestigious Benaki Museum in Athens, Greece, this masterpiece exemplifies the profound influence of Christianity and its iconography on Greek art. "The Archangel Michael" is a significant figure in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. As one of God's most revered angels, he is often depicted as a powerful warrior who triumphs over evil forces. In this painting, Poulakis skillfully captures Saint Michael's commanding presence as he stands tall with his sword raised high. The artist's use of tempera on panel brings out vibrant colors and intricate details that make this artwork truly mesmerizing. The composition portrays Saint Michael at Judgment Day, symbolizing his role as a patron saint associated with final judgment and victory over the devil. Poulakis' portrayal beautifully conveys not only Saint Michael's strength but also his divine grace. This piece serves as an important reminder for believers about their faith and spiritual journey towards salvation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from centuries past, we are reminded of how art can transcend time to inspire contemplation and reflection on our own beliefs.
