EDITORS COMMENTS
Master ES's Saint Michael Defeating the Devils, created in 1467, is a captivating and intricately detailed engraving on laid paper that showcases the triumph of good over evil in the Christian faith. The central figure is Saint Michael, the Archangel, dressed in magnificent apparel, wearing a flowing cape and armored clothing, holding a sword in his right hand and a sceptre in his left. The archangel stands victoriously over Lucifer and a horde of demons, who are depicted with grotesque features and contorted forms, representing the embodiment of evil. This black and white drawing, a masterpiece of the fifteenth century, is a testament to the artistic skill and imagination of Master ES, a German artist of the Gothic period. The engraving's intricate details and shading create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the scene of the battle between Saint Michael and the demons. The image of Saint Michael defeating the devil is a popular theme in Christian art, symbolizing the victory of the forces of good over the forces of evil. The crucifix in the background serves as a reminder of the ultimate triumph of Christ over sin and death. This print, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the past and the enduring power of religious art to inspire and captivate.
