"Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1498 as part of his "Apocalypse" series. The series, which includes fifteen woodcuts, illustrates the narrative of the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine and was Dürer's first major print project. This particular woodcut depicts the Archangel Michael in combat with the dragon, representing the forces of evil, as described in Revelation 12:7-9.

In the image, Saint Michael is shown as a knightly figure, armored and wielding a lance, in the midst of a dramatic battle with the dragon, which is rendered with intricate detail and dynamic lines that were characteristic of Dürer's style. The dragon, a symbol of Satan, is depicted with multiple heads and a serpentine body, recoiling from the attack of the archangel. The scene is set against a backdrop of a chaotic landscape, emphasizing the apocalyptic nature of the struggle.

Dürer's "Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon" is notable for its masterful composition and the way it reflects the artist's deep engagement with the theological themes of his time. The woodcut stands as a testament to Dürer's technical skill and his ability to convey complex, allegorical content through the medium of print. It is also significant as an early example of the artist's lifelong interest in religious subject matter, which would continue to influence his work throughout his career.

The "Apocalypse" series, including "Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon," was widely disseminated and had a profound impact on the visual arts, contributing to the spread of Dürer's fame across Europe. The series is considered a milestone in the history of printmaking, demonstrating the potential of woodcuts as a form of artistic expression and the capacity of prints to communicate powerful narratives to a broad audience.
