EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Saint Michael and the Dragon, from the Apocalypse" transports viewers to a world of mythological warfare. Created by Jean Duvet in the 18th century, this engraving showcases Saint Michael, the archangel of Christianity, engaged in a fierce battle against a fearsome dragon. With his arm raised high and sword gleaming in hand, Saint Michael stands as a symbol of divine power and righteousness. His determined expression conveys his unwavering dedication to vanquishing evil forces that threaten humanity's salvation. The composition is rich with symbolism from the Book of Revelation. The dragon represents chaos and death while Saint Michael embodies hope and protection. This dramatic scene captures their intense pursuit amidst an arched backdrop reminiscent of Rococo architecture. Duvet's meticulous attention to detail brings life to this mythical creature slaying. The intricate engravings depict every feather on Saint Michael's majestic wings with precision while highlighting the crowd gathered below witnessing this epic battle unfold. As we gaze upon this masterpiece at The Met museum, we are reminded of our own inner battles between good and evil. Through its powerful imagery rooted in religious beliefs, "Saint Michael and the Dragon" invites contemplation on themes such as faith, courage, and triumph over adversity. Jean Duvet's artistic legacy shines through this remarkable print which continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
