About the piece
Created in 1663 by the prolific Italian master Luca Giordano, this oil on canvas epitomizes the dramatic intensity of the High Baroque. The composition centers on the Archangel Michael, rendered with luminous flesh tones and swirling drapery, as he subdues the forces of darkness. Giordano's masterful use of chiaroscuro creates a powerful sense of depth and movement, making this a commanding piece for a traditional setting.
