Michaël en de duivel 1525 - 1565

This 16th-century engraving by Nicolas Beatrizet, titled "Michaël en de duivel" (Michael and the Devil), depicts the Archangel Michael triumphantly defeating the Devil. The scene is set against a dramatic, rocky landscape, with clouds and flames surrounding the figures. Michael, with his feathered wings and a spear, stands over a fallen, winged demon, emphasizing the angel's power and the devil's defeat. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a captivating example of Renaissance engraving, showcasing the artist's skill in detail and composition.
