Trampling foot dragon carpets the ground, Saint Michael raises his sword and prepares to carry the fatal blow. Represented following the traditional iconography, as a winged knight, the Archangel is of golden breastplate topped with a red coat. Behind the dragon is depicted a praying donor unidentified. The composition contains, with some variations, that of the "Saint Michel with the Lord of All", painted by Bartolomeo Bermejo (London, National Gallery). This is in fact a reconstruction drawing of patterns, particularly in the area of Flemish painting: the dragon is taken from that of "St. George" Sforza Triptych Rogier van der Weyden (Brussels, Royal Museums Fine arts) and the donor is reminiscent of "the man in red turban", painted by Jan van Eyck (London, National Gallery) and other Flemish portraits.
Charles Vincent Ocampo bought this painting in the early twentieth century it was donated to the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris, subject to usufruct in 1931. The usufruct was abandoned in 1942.

Choose your art print material variant
In the dropdown menu next to the product you can pick the size and material of your choice. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:
- The canvas print: A canvas direct print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher. It generates a particular effect of three-dimensionality. How do I hang a canvas print on my wall? The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
- Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes labelled as a fine art print on plexiglass, transforms the original into lovely décor and is a good alternative option to canvas or dibond fine art replicas. The major benefit of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts as well as image details will be more visible with the help of the granular gradation. Our plexiglass protects your selected art replica against light and external influences for between 40-60 years.
- The poster print (canvas material): Our poster is a UV printed canvas with a slightly rough surface structure, that reminds the original version of the work of art. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the print motif to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
- Aluminium dibond (metal print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive depth effect. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your perfect introduction to art prints on aluminum. Colors are luminous and vivid in the highest definition, fine details of the print are very clear, and you can perceive a matte appearance.
