AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptionally without reservation!

Impressive painting of a sacred subject, depicting with great expressive power the Archangel Michael in the act of defeating the demon. The scene is dominated by a dynamic and theatrical composition: the Archangel, with wings spread and classical-looking armor, brandishes the sword while crushing the demonic figure at his feet, a symbol of the triumph of good over evil. The movements are energetic, the poses accentuated and filled with dramatic tension, emphasized by a decisive use of color and strong chiaroscuro contrasts.

The brushstroke is vigorous and instinctive, with an intense palette that alternates warm and cool tones, helping to create a powerful and solemn atmosphere. The work clearly draws inspiration from the Baroque tradition, recalling seventeenth-century models in both gesture and iconographic setup. A painting of great visual impact and strong symbolic significance, ideal for collectors and for characterful interiors.

To complete the work, a magnificent, finely crafted gilded wooden frame that encases the scene with elegance and further enhances its drama.

Our shipments are fast, professional, and packaged in perfect protection: hence the related shipping costs.

In accordance with the current regulations on works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) entail significantly higher costs and may cause delays, customs difficulties, or other problems, which remain entirely at the buyer's expense and responsibility, unless private agreements.

Seller's Story

For years passionate about the world of art, antiquing, and vintage, driven by an authentic and profound passion. Raised in a family that has preserved and passed down the culture of art for three generations, I have developed a keen eye for detail and an innate love for beauty in all its forms. Every piece tells a story, and my commitment is to ensure that these stories continue to live on and inspire.
