"L'archange Saint Michel Terrassant Le Dragon" is a notable work by the French Baroque painter Pierre Mignard, also known as Pierre Le Romain I due to his extensive study and work in Rome. This painting, whose title translates to "The Archangel Saint Michael Overcoming the Dragon," depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Revelation (12:7-9) where Saint Michael the Archangel defeats Satan, represented as a dragon, in a celestial battle.

The artwork is a prime example of the grandeur and drama characteristic of Baroque art, showcasing Mignard's mastery of dynamic composition, vivid coloration, and the skillful rendering of figures in motion. The painting captures the moment of triumph as Saint Michael, clad in armor and with wings outstretched, drives a spear into the dragon beneath him. The scene is often interpreted as a symbol of good prevailing over evil, a theme commonly explored in Christian art.

Pierre Mignard (1612–1695) was a prominent painter in the court of Louis XIV and is celebrated for his portraits and religious compositions. His work on "L'archange Saint Michel Terrassant Le Dragon" reflects the influence of his time in Italy, particularly the impact of the Roman Baroque style, which he later integrated with the French artistic traditions upon his return to France.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, as it exemplifies the religious and political iconography of the era. Mignard's depiction of Saint Michael has been admired for its embodiment of the Counter-Reformation ideals and the absolutist symbolism associated with the French monarchy.

"L'archange Saint Michel Terrassant Le Dragon" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Pierre Mignard, representing the height of French Baroque painting and the artist's contribution to religious art. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader narrative of 17th-century European art.
