Fallen Angel with Clarion

THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS (1562)

Archangel Michaël is getting even with his rebellious colleague Lucifer and his followers. This story symbolises how the decay of the church and its clergy was brought to a stand still in the 16th century.

Transforming himself into a gigantic insect this fallen angel appears to raise his formerly heavenly clarion for the very last time to let its sound fill the heavens above, where archangel Michaël is still busy whacking his apostate colleagues into hell.
