Michael and His Angels Fight with the Dragon Possibly 1498 - 1511

Albrecht Dürer's "Michael and His Angels Fight with the Dragon" is a powerful woodcut created between 1498 and 1511. This artwork depicts the biblical story of the Archangel Michael battling a ferocious dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Dürer's masterful use of line and detail brings a sense of drama and realism to the scene. The intricate depiction of the dragon, Michael, and the angels, along with the distant landscape, evokes a sense of awe and wonder. This artwork is a prime example of Dürer's talent for capturing both the beauty and the brutality of the world around him. The print, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, is a testament to the enduring power of this story and the skill of the artist who brought it to life.
