Its the one where the ABer says 'HERE' is where Lucifer is cast out of Heaven.

Many thanks!

I'm sure Tatty will tell you, as this is his speciality!

My guess is that's it's a detail from one of the Italian Masters, possibly Michelangelo's Last Judgement.

I can't open any of Tattys links :o(

Is it The fall of Lucifer, Gustave Dor�'s illustration for the Paradise Lost by John Milton?

[Cetti]

This is the picture, Octavius

It's called Satan before the Lord .
The painting has a pendant: ..Job Sacrificing to God to Ask for Blessings on His Sons.
The two paintings were first attributed to Sebastiano Conca then to Corrado Giaquinto. However, neither attributions are convincing..in other words they are not sure ..It's in the Vatican Museum.

Clever girl, shaney!

Glad to be of help...do you know I had to go in the attic and find a book with that picture in..an old Bible Story book I had as a child.I knew I had seen it somewhere ! It is so annoying when you know what it is but can't put a name to it.However having found the title it was easy to track down after that.
A beautiful painting.
