Based on a painting by the 16th-century Italian painter Luca Giordano, this compelling oil painting features the Archangel Michael in a powerful tableau set against the backdrop of Washington DC’s iconic Capitol.

Wielding a flaming sword, Michael strikes at a horde of demons with each head representing different facets of corruption. This artwork is part of a provocative trio that explores the theme of control and influence by major global entities: Washington DC, the City of London, and the Vatican.

The scene captures a symbolic battle for integrity and transparency, highlighted by the divine figure’s struggle against the forces that manipulate power from the shadows.
