A painting of Archangel Michael Slaying the Dragon from Tuscany, Italy ca. 1380-1389

His wings outstretched and his cloak fluttering behind him, St. Michael plunges his spear into the dragon’s jaws. The archangel’s position on the body of the dragon symbolizes the victory of good over evil, which is further emphasized by the contrast between the sweeping wing of the archangel and the immobilized wing of the dragon.
