“St. Michael, defend us in battle…”
This watercolor portrays Saint Michael the Archangel as the powerful warrior and protector of Christian tradition rather than the gentle, cherubic figure often imagined today. Centered around his glowing sword, the composition symbolizes divine protection, spiritual courage, and the triumph of light over darkness. Through layered washes of luminous color and shadow, the painting reflects St. Michael’s enduring role as a defender and intercessor for the faithful.
