Arhanghelul Mihail is a 1773 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Flower, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows a winged figure in bright colors—gold, red, and blue—standing over a smaller person lying down. The standing figure wears armor, a belt with coins, and a red cloak. Their face glows with a golden halo, and they hold an object in each hand. The background is mostly blue with gold writing at the top. The standing figure has two smaller winged heads behind them, also in bright colors. The writing at the top reads "ΜΙΧΑΗΛ" (Michael) in Greek letters. The smaller figure on the ground looks like they’re asleep or defeated. This style of painting is common in religious art. Look up halo for more on what it means in paintings.
