The Fall of the Rebel Angels is a grand-scale Baroque masterpiece illustrating the biblical tale of rebellious angels led by Lucifer, descending from heaven. Dominating the composition is Archangel Michael, radiating strength and righteousness in his gleaming armor as he vanquishes Lucifer.
The celestial beings surrounding them are depicted in various stages of defeat, some plummeting from the heavens while others writhe in agony. It is a vivid portrayal of the timeless struggle between good and evil.
The painting’s visual impact is breathtaking, capturing the viewer with its striking play of light and dynamic motion.
