DÜRER, Albrecht: The Revelation of St John: 11. St Michael Fighting the Dragon

Violent motion erupts as St. Michael thrusts his spear downward, his armored body twisting above a writhing demon amid swirling clouds and architectural fragments rendered in precise woodcut lines. Dürer's 1498 print established the definitive Northern European iconography for this apocalyptic struggle, blending Italian Renaissance drama with Germanic technical mastery.
