Archangel in Red

São Miguel Arcanjo — the same warrior, in a southern register. Gold leaf runs along the wings and cartouche, the red built up in three passes.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.

Winged figure in red robes, wings full length.
