Saint Michael and the Dragon, c.1405, Oil on Panel

In this painting by an unknown Spanish artist who worked in Italy, St. Michael slays a ghastly dragon worthy of Hieronymus Bosch. Gold backgrounds were already falling out of favor with artists across the continent, but here the artist is somewhat constrained by this established color scheme, given the battleground is heaven.
