About the piece
Created in 1797 by Philip James de Loutherbourg, this painting captures a moment of intense celestial conflict. The angel, draped in soft pink and gold armor, descends from a radiant sky to bind the figure of Satan with heavy iron chains. De Loutherbourg's skill with theatrical composition is on full display here, using high contrast and a dynamic, diagonal arrangement to heighten the sense of divine struggle and ultimate victory.
