EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century painting, titled "Saint Michael Archangel" by the Master of Zafra, showcases the Archangel Michael in a heroic battle against the dragon, a symbol of sin. The Master of Zafra masterfully captures the intensity and power of the Archangel as he bears down on the monster, ready to strike. In the upper part of the frame, the heavenly choirs look on in awe, their faces filled with admiration and reverence. The background of the painting reveals a fierce struggle between the forces of good and evil, with angels engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the rebel demons. The intricate details of the painting, from the folds of the angels' robes to the scales of the dragon, demonstrate the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to his craft. This powerful and evocative work of art, created between 1495 and 1500, is a testament to the enduring power of religious art in the medieval period. Currently housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, this painting continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
