"The Archangel Saint Michael" is a renowned Baroque painting by Italian artist Guido Reni, completed circa 1636. The artwork is a striking depiction of the biblical story of Saint Michael the Archangel, known for his battle against Satan and his expulsion of the rebellious angels from heaven. Reni's painting captures the moment of triumph as Saint Michael, clad in ornate armor, stands over a defeated Satan, portrayed as a dark, demonic figure.

Reni's mastery of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—is evident in this work, highlighting the drama and intensity of the scene. The Archangel's figure is illuminated, drawing the viewer's attention to his youthful, idealized beauty and the dynamic movement of his powerful pose. The use of color further emphasizes the dichotomy between the celestial and infernal, with Saint Michael's luminous skin and the rich, golden tones of his armor set against the dark, earthy hues of the fallen angel.

Measuring 134 cm × 100 cm (approximately 52.8 inches × 39.4 inches), the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It is one of the most famous works of Guido Reni, a leading figure of the Bolognese School, and is often cited as a prime example of High Baroque painting with its emotional intensity and dramatic use of light.

"The Archangel Saint Michael" is housed in the Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, a church in Rome, Italy. The painting remains an object of veneration and an important piece of religious art, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on direct, emotive, and visually compelling representations of key Christian narratives. Its iconic status has cemented Reni's reputation as one of the most important artists of his era, and the work continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its powerful portrayal of good triumphing over evil.
