Prăbușirea îngerilor răi is a 1642 unspecified by Peter Paul Rubens, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a chaotic battle in the sky. Dark angels fall while a few light ones fight back. The colors are rich and bold, with lots of red and gold. Rubens often painted big, dramatic scenes like this. His angels look strong and almost human, not just symbols. He used thick paint to make the scene feel alive and wild.
