This huge oil painting on canvas depicts the Archangel Michael.
The Archangel Michael is considered canonical by the Church, alongside Gabriel and Raphael, and is the one painted most frequently. For the Cuzco painters Michael was known as the Captain of all the Santos Angeles, the Caudillo y Capitan of all, the defender of the Church, intercessor of mankind, Principe de la Corte Celestial (Prince of the Celestial Court), who received the soul of the elect. For the faithful, Saint Michael Archangel was a protector and a willing listener.
Saint Michael Archangel is an exquisite example of several characteristics of the Cuzco School; the plumes on his helmet, the beautiful coloring of the wings, and the stenciled patterns in gold that enliven the surface of the garments and armor of the angel. Another touch particular to Cuzco painting is the sword hilt sending out a blade of flame.
The archangels are usually young and beautiful. They are the knights of Heaven and must be dressed in splendor. They have to evoke sympathy, as well as a sense of their power and also of their benevolence, as their function is the performance of good works.
Look at the exquisite facial features and the color composition, it is just simply amazing .
Golden Leaf was used to accentuate finishing touches on this magnificent portrait.
