The Archangel Michael is ridding Heaven of the rebel angels and vanquishing his opponent Satan, who has taken on the form of a dragon. This kind of narrative scene is typical of the small paintings found below the depiction of a saint in a polyptych. The altarpiece to which this panel belonged is no longer known.
