Background:
                         
            Bruegel painted this picture when he was still living in Antwerp and supplying drawings to the 
engrave Hieronymus Cock. Turning his back on the then-dominant Italian models, he plunges into the then old-
fashioned tradition of Hieronymus Bosch’s world. An apparently inextricable mixture of persons and shapes offers itself to our bewildered gaze. Emerging from distant depths in a halo of light, monsters are thrown to earth as from a breaking wave. Angels combat them, led by St Michael, thin as a rake in his golden armour, striking with his sword at the dragon with the seven crowned heads on which he has his foothold. The combat of the archangel with the fallen angels is described in the Book of Revelation (12, 3-9) and was frequently illustrated from the Middle Ages onwards.

I chose this artwork because i had an overwhelming feeling when I first saw it on the internet. He has a very good style in painting and when you look at the painting from afar, it looks like an abstract but you will see the real image when you moved forward. I find this a very special painting because it came from the book of revelations.
