"San Michele che sconfigge il drago" (Saint Michael Defeating the Dragon) is a notable work by Salvator Rosa, an Italian Baroque painter, poet, and printmaker who was active in Naples, Rome, and Florence. This painting, which dates from the 17th century, is one of Rosa's interpretations of the popular Christian theme of Saint Michael the Archangel, known for his battle against Satan, often depicted as a dragon in art.

The artwork captures the dramatic moment when Saint Michael, clad in armor, triumphantly subdues the dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Rosa's rendition of this subject is characterized by his distinctive use of dark, moody landscapes and a dynamic composition that enhances the painting's emotional intensity. The archangel is typically shown in the act of spearing the dragon, with his wings outstretched and a halo around his head, signifying his divine nature.

Salvator Rosa was known for his unconventional approach to painting and his preference for wild and rugged landscapes, which he often used as backdrops for his religious and mythological scenes. "San Michele che sconfigge il drago" exemplifies Rosa's skill in blending natural elements with the supernatural, creating a scene that is both earthly and otherworldly.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and religious implications during the Baroque period, a time when art was used as a means of religious expression and propaganda. The image of Saint Michael defeating the dragon resonated with the contemporary audience as a symbol of the Church's power and the protection it offered against evil.

Today, "San Michele che sconfigge il drago" is appreciated for its historical context, its representation of Baroque aesthetics, and its place within Salvator Rosa's oeuvre. The painting is an important example of Rosa's artistic legacy and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the period's art.
