Michael the Archangel Defeats Satan by Albrecht Durer, 1498
German / Inspirational prints / Paintings (Reproductions) / Renaissance - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is the German Master’s rendition as a woodcut of the scene described in the twelfth chapter of The Revelation of St John. It is a wonderful example of the beautiful artwork of the Northern Renaissance which still harkens back to the apocalyptic themes of the Middle Ages, particularly after the holocaust of the Black Death in the Fourtheenth Century. The original is a woodcut, 392 by 283 millimeters, and is housed in the Sttaatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe.
