I am searching for a painting of the Archangel Michael, but with the old portrayal.
In every painting I have found he is depicted with a sword, literally fighting the bad and everything dark.
As far as I know there is at least one painting where he doesn't have a sword to fight the other side, but he reaches literally into the dark. In this portrait he does this to give everything dark a chance, he isn't denying the path to the light for everything bad.

I already found the below painting, but it doesn't exactly depict what I am thinking about.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's a request for art. – curiousdannii♦ Feb 27 '17 at 21:16

    Are you looking for a particular style of art? Renaissance, I'm guessing? @curious is right that this is off-topic if you're just looking for people to help you find a picture, but I think it's highly topical if you're looking for a particular piece that was painted that way for a particular reason. – Peter Turner♦ Feb 27 '17 at 21:33
  • While I like the question, I also am voting to close because it is not about "Christianity", but about art. – warren Mar 1 '17 at 17:06
  • @PeterTurner I am not looking for a particular piece, but any picture that expressed St. Michael that way. I am happy i find only one. – Florian W. Mar 3 '17 at 21:20
  • @florian OK, then I have to agree with curiousdannii I would change the question to "Is St. Michael ever portrayed...." that would be more topical and might actually garner answers. – Peter Turner♦ Mar 3 '17 at 21:42
