The Fall of the Rebel Angels - Classic Engraving by Gustave Doré #3806227 (License: Personal Use)

This intricate black-and-white engraving shows the Archangel Michael at the center, wielding a spear and shield emblazoned with a star, as he casts down rebellious angels into fiery abysses below. Surrounding him are winged seraphim and cherubim engaged in combat, their drapery and expressions conveying urgency and moral triumph. The composition uses cross-hatching and swirling clouds to heighten drama, evoking Milton’s *Paradise Lost* and medieval apocalyptic visions.
