St. Michael Conquering the Dragon is a popular subject in Christian art, representing the victory of good over evil. St. Michael is the archangel who is believed to lead God's army against Satan and the forces of evil. In this scene, St. Michael is depicted as a powerful warrior, often with wings and armor, who is defeating a dragon or serpent, which represents Satan.
