The Archangels Gabriel, Michael and Raphael

1654[-]1714

Giuseppe Passeri’s dynamic Baroque sketch brings the heavenly host to life with energetic strokes and dramatic flair. You can spot the three archangels gathered amidst swirling clouds: Michael stands ready with his sword and scales of justice, while Gabriel and Raphael flank him, their flowing robes highlighted in bright white chalk against the warm, reddish paper. A tiny cherub tugs at Raphael’s garment in the corner, adding a touch of playful humanity to this divine gathering. Passeri was a student of Carlo Maratta, and this drawing shows off that classic Roman Baroque training—full of movement, emotion, and theatrical lighting, even in a simple sketch.
