"St. Michael" is a distinguished artwork by the Italian Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli, created in the late 15th century, specifically dated to 1476. This painting is renowned for its intricate detail, vivid coloration, and the use of gold leaf, which are characteristic of Crivelli's work. The piece depicts Saint Michael the Archangel, a common subject in Christian art, known for his role as a warrior saint defeating Satan, often represented as a dragon or a demon at his feet.

Carlo Crivelli, born around 1430 and active until his death in 1495, was a Venetian painter who is celebrated for his highly decorative style and his preference for highly structured compositions imbued with a certain emotional intensity. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Crivelli never fully embraced the emerging trends of the Renaissance, such as perspective and the study of human anatomy, preferring instead a more Gothic style, which is evident in the elongated figures and the elaborate use of gold in "St. Michael."

The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a medium that allows for the luminous quality and meticulous details that are hallmarks of Crivelli's work. "St. Michael" is particularly noted for the texture and detail of the Archangel's armor and the dramatic expression on the face of the defeated demon, showcasing Crivelli's skill in rendering both the divine and the grotesque.

"St. Michael" by Carlo Crivelli is not only a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium and his unique style but also serves as an important piece within the context of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's religious fervor and the fascination with the celestial hierarchy. Today, the painting is held in a prominent museum collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
