Jacopo Bellini's "St Michael Defeating Satan" is a dynamic black and white drawing depicting the archangel Michael battling the devil. This drawing showcases the early Renaissance style and features the typical use of linear perspective and naturalism that was developing during the period. The detailed and flowing lines give the image a sense of movement and depth, while the contrasting figures of light and dark create a sense of drama. The artwork, currently residing in the British Museum in London, is a beautiful testament to Bellini’s artistic skill and the artistic spirit of the era.
