Description
This icon of the victory of the Archangel Michael’s victory over the evil one, is an allusion to the Apocalypse as depicted in Revelation 20. This is a faithful reproduction of the original, painted by the Reniassance-era master iconographer Theodoros Poulakis. The Archangel Michael, wearing scarlet robe and golden breastplate, subdues the church’s arch enemy with a spear and tramples him in preparation for his casting of our historic enemy into the abyss.
In icons, angels—especially the high-ranking Archangels—are depicted in an earthly form. All the angels are dressed as humans, in clothing accented with gold, the color of holiness and Heaven.
The Archangel Michael is the warrior of God, and in any given instance of heavenly warfare is likely present fighting for Him. The Archangel Michael is a powerful saint, whose intercessions can help us overcome the power of evil in our lives.

Beautifully made , quality product and quick service.

High Quality | Near Perfect Colors
Ordered a Classic version of this icon and was very pleased with its quality and color!
-
Beautiful - slightly different than expected
The background in the online photo seems to have a gold-leaf sheen, but the Masterpiece mounted icon we received looks more mustard-color and matte. Perhaps Classic mounting on fine paper would have been better. Also, a front edge was slightly bent and marred, but this minor. Overall, a very powerful image of St. Michael.

Beautiful, but slightly disappointed
This painting of St. Michael by Poulakis is magnificent and powerful, but the online image seems to have a background with more of a gold-leaf sheen than ours which looks more mustard-colored and matte, perhaps because I ordered the Masterpiece mounting which is printed on canvas. Maybe the Classic mounting on fine paper would be different. Also, the icon arrived with the front bottom edge flattened and a bit marred, as if it had been dropped, but it's only a slight flaw. Overall, a beautiful icon of this powerful Archangel and Saint. --- Legacy Icons Response: Our icon reproductions do not use actual gold leaf, so all prints are from photos. The image shown on the website is exactly the same image which is printed to make your icon.

Incredible Quality
I received the Poulakis Icon of Archangel Michael recently and could not be happier. The quality (Classic Mounted Icon) is unparalleled. There is no doubt from the look and feel of the icon that this is an heirloom piece and one which will be passed down in my family for years to come. I appreciate the care instructions included with the packaging and the effort which went into making this icon. It was well packaged, and arrived promptly to Canada. I will certainly purchase from Legacy Icons again!
