"Saint Margaret with the Vanquished Devil" is a 17th-century oil painting by French Baroque artist Claude Deruet. The artwork depicts Saint Margaret of Antioch, a Christian martyr from the 4th century, known for her legendary encounter with Satan in the form of a dragon. According to hagiographic traditions, Margaret was swallowed by the devil but managed to escape unharmed, often depicted in art as her emerging from the dragon's body. In Deruet's interpretation, Saint Margaret is shown triumphantly standing over the vanquished devil, symbolizing her victory over evil and her unwavering faith.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque period, which serves to highlight the figure of Saint Margaret and the defeated devil at her feet. Deruet's composition focuses on the saint's serene yet powerful presence, her gaze often interpreted as reflecting divine inspiration or ecstasy. The use of rich colors and detailed rendering of textures, such as the dragon's scales and Saint Margaret's drapery, further enhance the visual impact of the piece.

Claude Deruet (1588–1660) was a prominent figure in the Lorraine school of painting and is known for his religious works, portraits, and allegorical scenes. "Saint Margaret with the Vanquished Devil" is considered one of his significant religious paintings, showcasing his skill in conveying narrative and emotion through his art. The painting not only serves as an example of Deruet's artistic abilities but also provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the time, where such depictions were meant to inspire devotion and moral fortitude among the faithful.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Deruet's mature period. The artwork is part of a larger tradition of Christian art that celebrates the lives and miracles of saints, particularly those who were martyred for their faith. "Saint Margaret with the Vanquished Devil" by Claude Deruet remains an important work for its artistic merit and its representation of the power of faith in Christian iconography.
