This is a preliminary drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni for a larger painting. The drawing depicts the Archangel Michael, a powerful angel in Christian tradition, defeating Satan. The dynamic composition, with St. Michael's powerful pose, and the carefully rendered details, hint at Reni's mastery of drawing, and suggest the grandeur of the final painting. The drawing is a fascinating glimpse into Reni's creative process, and showcases his skill in capturing both anatomical accuracy and emotional intensity.
