The Fall of Rebel Angels by Pieter Bruegel

Pieter Bruegel (1525 - 1569) was a Flemish renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes.  The Fall of Rebel Angels shows the non-ending battle of good vs evil.  The Archangel Michael is shown fighting the fallen angels as they fall from heaven due to the sin of Pride.  The artist exaggerates the size of the subject based on moral alignment.  So, the hero will be expressed as greater in size when drawn near the smaller depicted villain.  The corrupted moral alignment is expressed in the fallen angels as half-monster and half-human. The battle is perceived as great and dramatic.
