EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Archangel Saint Michael" a remarkable oil painting on wood from the 17th century by Cornelis de Wael. The artwork is housed in the San Michele in Montesignano church, located in Genoa, Italy. The altarpiece depicts the powerful and awe-inspiring figure of Saint Michael, an archangel revered for his role as a defender against evil forces. With an aureole surrounding him and a cross held firmly in his hand, he stands amidst billowing clouds, ready to engage in battle with the devil himself. Cornelis de Wael's masterful brushstrokes bring this biblical scene to life, capturing both the intensity of combat and the divine presence of Saint Michael. The Flemish style adds depth and richness to every detail, creating a harmonious balance between light and dark. "The Archangel Saint Michael" serves as a visual representation of good triumphing over evil—a timeless theme found within religious texts such as the Bible. This painting not only pays homage to an important biblical character but also serves as an instrument for contemplation and reflection on one's own spiritual journey. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this magnificent artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to inspire faith and ignite our imagination.
