 The Virgin Mary in Heaven and the Casting Out of the Fallen Angels The fresco of the Virgin Mary in Heaven (c. 1663), which adorns the gilded vault of the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, is the work of Giovanni Domenico Cerrini (1609-81). The fresco, which also depicts the casting out from heaven of the fallen angels, is an allegory of the victory of the Catholic forces over the Protestants at the Battle of White Mountain, which took place near Prague on November 8th 1620.  Casting Out the Fallen Angels From Heaven Comments are closed.
