Artist's Comments
This piece was inspired by the Renaissance paintings of the Archangel Michael fighting demons. It seemed such a popular motif for decades, and the paintings are amazingly similar in their drama and dynamism.
Angels traditionally depicted in stained glass have been very still and staid. I wanted to covey that sense of strength and energy. This piece was crafted in the traditional lead came method, (as opposed to the copper foil or "Tiffany" method). This technique, where each piece of glass is hand cut, ground, leaded, soldered, puttied and finished has remained virtually unchanged from the Middle Ages. It features nearly 50 pieces of heavily beveled clear class in the borders, wings and halo. Daily DeviationGiven 2009-07-08Winged by ~indeestudios. ~indeestudios makes warm and cold glass art and has also made patterns and tutorials for helping others create stained glass works. This stained glass panel has textured glass in the wings and the wonderful depth of the beveled glass was used in the wings, halo, and borders. The angel himself was airbrushed with glass enamels.

Making fun of the powerful is Bravery, because they can make you pay for what you say. This is why Satire is the weapon of the Clever Courageous. Making fun of someone weaker than you are, that is merely Cowardice.
