About the Artwork

Title: The Fall of the Rebel Angels
Artist: Sebastiano Ricci
Date: c. 1720
Collection: Dulwich Picture Gallery, London

Painted by the Venetian master Sebastiano Ricci, The Fall of the Rebel Angels portrays the dramatic vision from the Book of Revelation in which Saint Michael the Archangel leads the heavenly hosts against the dragon and his angels. At the centre, Michael stands radiant in shining armour, his shield gleaming with divine light. With serene authority, he casts down the great dragon, Satan, and his host of fallen angels, who tumble in chaos and darkness below.

Ricci captures the triumph of divine order over chaos. The swirling composition and luminous colour embody the power of grace, while the calm strength of Saint Michael reflects the peace that follows victory in God’s name.

Spiritual Reflection

This painting calls us to remember that light always conquers darkness, and that the faithful are never alone in their spiritual battles. The Archangel Michael’s serene courage reminds us that true strength flows from trust in the Lord.

“Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated.”
Revelation 12:7-8
