"St. Michael Slaying the Dragon" (1584) is an engraving by Hieronymus Wierix, a Flemish artist known for his detailed and intricate print work during the Northern Renaissance. The piece depicts the Archangel Michael, a figure commonly represented in Christian iconography, engaged in battle with a dragon, symbolizing Satan. This theme is rooted in the biblical narrative from the Book of Revelation (12:7-9), where Michael leads the angels in a war against the dragon and his followers, casting them out of heaven.

Hieronymus Wierix, along with his brothers Jan and Anton, were prominent figures in the Antwerp engraving scene, and they contributed significantly to the spread of Northern Renaissance art throughout Europe. Their works were characterized by exceptional finesse and a high level of detail, which is evident in "St. Michael Slaying the Dragon." The 1584 engraving showcases Wierix's skill in composition and his ability to convey texture and movement, as well as his mastery of light and shadow to create a dramatic effect.

The engraving serves not only as a religious representation but also as a testament to the artistic and technical prowess of Wierix. It reflects the period's fascination with spiritual warfare and the triumph of good over evil, themes that were prevalent in the Counter-Reformation era. "St. Michael Slaying the Dragon" by Hieronymus Wierix remains an important work for its artistic merit and its representation of the religious and cultural milieu of the late 16th century.
