Archangel Michael Plunges the Devil into the Abyss — Bartolome Esteban Murillo

Bartolome Esteban Murillo’s Archangel Michael Plunges the Devil into the Abyss, dated 1665, presents Saint Michael as a triumphant heavenly warrior overcoming evil. Created during the Spanish Baroque period, the composition unites dramatic spiritual conflict with Murillo’s characteristic refinement, directing attention to the archangel’s divine authority and steadfast courage. The sacred subject evokes the victory of good over darkness, giving the work a powerful devotional atmosphere suited to reflection on faith, protection, and heavenly justice.
