Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.
- John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667)
Fall of the Angels sits at the high altar of Saint Michael’s Church, Vienna. The high altar was designed in 1782 by Jean-Baptiste d’Avrange. But the monumental stucco alabaster Rococo sculpture Fall of the Angels was created by sculptor Karl Georg Merville. It was the last major Baroque work completed in Vienna in 1782.
It represents a cloudburst of angels and cherubs, falling from the ceiling towards the ground. In the centre the archangel Michael raises a flaming dart against the angelic rebels. Revelation 12:7 calls their leader "the dragon," but here all the fallen angels are represented anthropomorphically.
Saint Michael's Church is one of the oldest churches in Vienna, Austria, and also one of its few remaining Romanesque buildings. Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, St. Michael's Church is located at Michaelerplatz across from St. Michael's Gate at the Hofburg Palace. St. Michael's used to be the parish church of the Imperial Court, when it was called Zum Heiligen Michael.
