This print by Gilles Rousselet (1610-1686) is a burin interpretationinterpretation of Raphael's painting of the same name, commissioned by Pope Leo X in 1518, for Francis I. It depicts a biblical passage, where the archangel Michael is about to pierce the dragon with his spear, Satan.

The saint can be recognized by his knightly armor and weapons spear, sword and shield adorned with a cross. He is also adorned with wings unlike Saint George, he is shown on foot.

The Ultimes are prints made from the original etching plates in the Chalcographie collection at the Musée du Louvre before they were put into storage for preservation reasons.

For reasons of preservation, it was decided to stop printing plates engraved before 1848. Before they left the Ateliers to go into the Louvre's reserves, some were printed one last time. These are the last ones. Each print is dated, numbered and stamped, and is sold with a certificate of authenticity, in a limited edition of 10.
