St. Michael

"St. Michael" is an exquisite Religious painting by the Italian master Raphael from the High renaissance period. This Panelwork is created using Oil pigments, showcasing Raphael's skill in capturing dynamic religious themes. Often called the Little Saint Michael to differentiate it from a larger, later version, the artwork depicts the Archangel Michael engaged in fierce combat with demons, with the damned suffering behind him. As one of Raphael's earliest martial subjects, it exemplifies his mastery in portraying heroic figures and divine intervention. Today, it resides in the Louvre in Paris.
