description

Dated 1826, this painting depicts the Archangel Michael triumphing over evil, crushing a multiheaded

beast representing Satan and the Seven Deadly Sins. Above, the Holy Trinity radiates light, while the Virgin Mary appears as Our Lady of the Apocalypse, clothed in stars and standing on a crescent moon, symbolizing her role in salvation. Combining Catholic iconography with Andean artistic traditions, the piece emphasizes divine justice, Marian devotion, and victory over sin.
