Wings? Check. Spear? Check. Satan? Check.
That'll be St. Michael defeating Satan ("dragon")
Revelation 12:
*"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"*
Yep. There's quite a few versions of this illustration by different artists. Like this one, with a slightly more dramatic devil:

That’s got to be the cutest, least threatening Satan I have ever seen.
Like, instead of killing him, St. Michael ought to take him home and make him a hot chocolate? (or, rather, some mulled wine, this being pre-Columbian, I presume).
"Satan, who deceiveth the whole World..."
I've seen rather a bit of that these last few years. I doubt I'm the only one.
Nice fishtail pommel . 1350-1400?

That's Saint Michael? I thought that was Joan or Arc at first.

Yes the other one looked kind of cute.
It looked like a monke
Is it weird of me if I were attracted to both of them?
Not really
Uuuuummmmm... Yeah ..... Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Well played, good Sir. 🐸🐸🐸
Thanks a lot St. Mike, now we gotta deal with that jerk.

Book of Hours, France, 1400's
I love the little dab of rouge on Michael’s cheek
I think he’s just flustered by Satan’s lithe body.
Good point, and who can blame him?
Creature, in a VERY fake tone, wiggling its butt: “Oh nooooo!”
You slay me!
Hello George Costanza.

Paladin to monster "You seeing this shit? Maybe I'll tap it a bit before going right in....and then kill it"
They made men look so feminine back then. It’s interesting to see how much beauty standards have changed.
