EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Durer's wood engraving titled "St Michael Fighting the Dragon". Inspired by the biblical account in Revelation, Chapter 12, this artwork depicts a monumental battle between St Michael and the dragon. With intense focus in his eyes, the archangel wields a spear as he confronts evil forces from heaven. The intricate details of this engraved image highlight Durer's mastery of his craft. Originally created in 1497/98, this woodcut engraving has stood the test of time and remains an iconic representation of Christianity's struggle against darkness. Published in 1877, it continues to inspire viewers with its powerful imagery and spiritual symbolism. The vertical composition allows for a unique aerial view directly above the battlefield, emphasizing both the celestial realm and earthly conflicts. In an oriental style reminiscent of traditional woodblock art, Durer captures the essence of judgment day and conveys a sense of urgency through dynamic lines and bold contrasts. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we are reminded that even amidst great adversity, there is always hope for victory. This print serves as a visual reminder to persevere through our own struggles while seeking guidance from higher powers. It invites us to reflect on our faith and find strength in spirituality when facing life's challenges head-on.
