Saint Michel combattant le dragon

Heures d'Étienne Chevalier, enluminées par Jean Fouquet

Londres, Upton House, Collection Lord Bearsted, Cat. n°184

La scène est inspirée du chapitre 12 de l'Apocalypse qui décrit le combat de saint Michel contre le dragon, symbole des forces du Mal. Assisté par les anges, dont l'un tient son heaume et sa lance, Michel lève son épée sur le monstre à sept têtes devant un paysage montagneux et fantastique. En contrebas s'ouvrent les cavernes de l'enfer où Satan préside à la torture des âmes. À droite, on aperçoit au milieu des flammes le dragon désormais repoussé par l'archange.
