EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bartolome Bermejo's masterpiece, "Saint Michael Triumphs over the Devil". Created in 1468 and later printed in 1946, this painting depicts Saint Michael, adorned in resplendent golden armor and wielding a crystal shield, triumphantly swinging his sword above Satan. The central figure is accompanied by Antoni Joan, lord of Tous, who kneels before him with a psalter as the painting's patron. Originally part of an altarpiece housed in the church of San Miguel near Valencia, this artwork now finds its home at the National Gallery in London. Bermejo's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of clothing and armor. The rich colors used throughout the composition add depth and vibrancy to this fifteenth-century religious scene. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a battle between good and evil personified. Saint Michael stands tall as he confronts the monstrous devil with unwavering determination. His wings spread wide behind him symbolize divine power and protection. Philip Hendy's book "Spanish Painting" provides valuable insight into this remarkable work of art. This particular print was published by Avalon Press & Central Institute of Art and Design in London during the forties. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to medieval Spain where faith collided with darkness on canvas. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst chaos and temptation, goodness will always prevail over evil.
