"St. Michael Fighting the Dragon" is a renowned woodcut created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Completed in 1498, this work is part of Dürer's famous series, the "Apocalypse," which consists of 15 woodcuts illustrating scenes from the Book of Revelation. Dürer’s "Apocalypse" series is celebrated for its intricate detail, dramatic intensity, and innovative use of the woodcut medium, which was relatively new at the time.

The woodcut depicts the archangel Michael in a dynamic and powerful pose, engaged in a fierce battle with a multi-headed dragon, a representation of Satan. The scene is filled with dramatic tension and movement, capturing the climactic struggle between good and evil. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the elaborate rendering of the dragon's scales, the folds of Michael's garments, and the expressive faces of the figures.

Dürer's "St. Michael Fighting the Dragon" is notable not only for its artistic excellence but also for its theological and symbolic significance. The image draws directly from the biblical text of Revelation 12:7-9, where Michael and his angels fight against the dragon and its forces. This confrontation symbolizes the ultimate triumph of divine justice over the forces of chaos and evil.

The "Apocalypse" series, including "St. Michael Fighting the Dragon," was groundbreaking in its time for several reasons. It was one of the first major works to be produced and distributed in large quantities thanks to the printing press, making high-quality art accessible to a broader audience. Additionally, Dürer's innovative use of perspective, anatomy, and composition in these woodcuts had a profound influence on the development of printmaking and Renaissance art in Northern Europe.

Today, "St. Michael Fighting the Dragon" is housed in various collections around the world, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It remains a testament to Dürer's genius and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through the medium of woodcut.
