EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century print depicts Saint Michael, the Archangel, in a powerful and heroic stance as he triumphantly defeats the demon, traditionally identified as Lucifer or Satan. The image, believed to have originated from either Germany or Switzerland, showcases the masterful artistry of the unknown artist who skillfully engraved this intricate and detailed composition on laid paper. Saint Michael, dressed in armor and holding a sword in his right hand, is shown standing on the back of a dragon, symbolizing the defeat of evil. In his left hand, he holds a sceptre, signifying his role as a leader and protector. The demon, with horns and a menacing expression, lies beneath Saint Michael, defeated and subdued. The black and white contrast of the print adds to the dramatic and ominous atmosphere of the scene, further emphasizing the battle between good and evil. The gothic influence is evident in the intricate details and the use of bold lines and shapes. This print, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the fifteenth century, is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious art and the continued fascination with the story of Saint Michael and his victory over the devil.
