About Bruegel’s The Fall of the Rebel Angels

Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted The Fall of the Rebel Angels in 1562. The original oil-on-oak panel is held by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. It shows Archangel Michael and the loyal angels expelling the rebels from heaven while the falling figures transform into demons assembled from animals, insects, shells, armour, weapons and scientific objects.

The central figure of Michael remains controlled while the surrounding scene becomes increasingly unstable. Bright celestial areas contrast with darker hybrid forms below. The square pillow format crops the wide original composition, but the double-sided print keeps the image present from both viewing directions. Learn more in our complete artwork reference guide.

Meaning and Symbolism

  • Archangel Michael: divine order, protection and victory.
  • Falling rebel angels: loss of status, direction and stable identity.
  • Hybrid demons: spiritual disorder represented through impossible combinations.
  • Blue heaven and golden armour: visual markers of the celestial conflict.
  • Animals, shells and mechanical forms: sixteenth-century curiosity, collecting and classification.
