Español: Miguel y el diablo

Un grabado del arcángel Miguel con alas y armadura, que sostiene en alto una larga lanza mientras está de pie sobre un terreno rocoso rodeado de llamas. Debajo de él, un diablo caído, en parte humano y en parte serpentino, se retuerce entre las rocas mientras sube humo a los costados.
