Description: This woodcut print features the archangel Michael slaying Satan in the form of a great serpent by piercing him with a cross-tipped lance, a scene which is used as the title-image of the section of the Lutheran hymnist Joseph Clauder’s (1586 – 1653 CE) Psalmnodia novae pars nova: sive selectissimorum hymnorum centura II containing cautionary hymns that speak to the infernal destiny of sinners’ pursuit of earthly pleasure and the eternal bliss following on the saints’ temporal agony.
