EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving "St Michael Triumphing Over the Dragon" created by Hieronymus or Jerome Wierix in 1584. The artwork, measuring 29.1x20.2 cm, is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA as part of the Bernard F. Rogers Collection. The image depicts St Michael, an archangel with magnificent wings and divine strength, triumphing over a fearsome dragon. With his sword raised high and a determined expression on his face, he symbolizes victory over evil forces. The intricate details of this engraving are brought to life through the use of black ink on ivory laid paper. The original design for this masterpiece was conceived by Martin de Vos, a Flemish artist from the 16th century known for his religious subjects. Wierix skillfully translated de Vos' vision into an exquisite engraved piece that captures both the power and grace of St Michael's celestial battle. Surrounding St Michael are cherubs and putti - angelic beings often associated with innocence and purity - adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Their presence further emphasizes the heavenly nature of this scene. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Wierix's exceptional talent as an engraver while paying homage to de Vos' artistic legacy. It continues to inspire viewers with its timeless depiction of good prevailing over evil in a world filled with divine beauty and spiritual significance.
