"Saint Michael Trampling the Dragon" (1518) is a renowned masterpiece by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino). This artwork, executed in oil on wood, is a striking representation of the Archangel Michael, a figure often associated with protection and justice in Christian theology, defeating Satan, depicted as a dragon, a symbol of evil. Raphael's painting is celebrated for its dynamic composition, the elegance of its forms, and the spiritual intensity it conveys, characteristics that are emblematic of the High Renaissance style.

Commissioned by Pope Leo X, the painting was intended as a gift to Francis I, King of France, marking a significant diplomatic gesture. The work reflects the cultural and political exchanges between Italy and France during the Renaissance, a period that saw the flourishing of arts as a medium of diplomacy. Measuring 268 cm × 160 cm, it originally adorned the collection of the French royal family before becoming part of the Louvre Museum's collection in Paris, where it remains a highlight of the Italian Renaissance collection.

Raphael's depiction of Saint Michael is not just a religious iconography but also a reflection of the artist's mastery in blending spiritual themes with the humanistic ideals of the Renaissance. The painting showcases Raphael's skill in the use of color, his understanding of human anatomy, and his ability to convey divine triumph and the struggle between good and evil. "Saint Michael Trampling the Dragon" stands as a testament to Raphael's genius and his contribution to the canon of Western art, embodying the aesthetic ideals and the philosophical inquiries of his time.
