Description
Archangel Saint Michael defeating the devil, Cuzco School, 20th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions 40 x 29 / 52 x 41 cm. The scene depicts the archangel standing upright in an open landscape, one hand raised in a gesture of authority and the other holding the head of the childlike demon at his feet, an iconographic device that reinforces the triumph of good over evil. The frame, painted with geometric decoration, emphasises the work’s popular and devotional character, whilst the warm colours, soft flesh tones and simple modelling lend the image a direct and pious presence. The work exemplifies the persistence of Andean colonial forms reinterpreted in contemporary times, preserving their strong symbolic and catechetical value.
