"Saint Michael Defeating Satan" is an iconic and dramatic work of art by Italian painter Paolo di Matteis. The painting, completed in the early 18th century, showcases the prolific Neapolitan Baroque style of di Matteis, vividly illustrating the celestial battle between Saint Michael the Archangel and Satan.

Di Matteis' depiction adheres to the traditional Christian narrative, where Saint Michael, recognized as the divine leader of God's armies, subdues Satan, represented in the form of a dragon. The painting is imbued with religious symbolism and draws heavily upon the biblical narrative in the Book of Revelation.

In the painting, Saint Michael, clothed in Roman soldiery, is portrayed in a dominant, central position deploying a spear, symbolizing the embodiment of victory and divine justice. Satan, in stark contrast, is depicted as an anguished, monstrous form overwhelmed by defeat.

The painting is a striking display of di Matteis' meticulous attention to detail, seen in the intricate rendering of the figures and the vibrant use of color. Its grandeur lies not only in its size but also in the dynamic composition and the narrative drama captured through the gestures and expressions of the figures.

The painting is currently housed in the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida. It continues to captivate viewers with its dramatic depiction of good triumphing over evil, and encapsulates the rich religious artistic tradition of the Baroque period.
