2003. S1 (original serigraph / silkscreen) col (hand-finished), limited 51/70 signed by the artist. Images size 145mm x 110mm. The 127th ex-libris produced by the artist. Archangel Michael and the Dragon represents the ultimate triumph of good over evil, based on Revelation 12, where Michael leads heaven's armies to defeat Satan, depicted as a dragon. As a major theme in Christian art, this scene often features Michael in armor, armed with a sword or spear, symbolizing the daily, spiritual struggle against evil. Juri Jakovenko (born 1965) is a renowned Belarusian graphic artist and engraver, internationally recognized for his technical printmaking and his fantastical, surreal imagery. Based in Grodno, Belarus, Jakovenko has established himself as a master of the etching needle, creating dense, narrative-rich compositions that often blend medieval aesthetics with modern surrealism. His work is highly prized by collectors of fine prints and Ex-Libris (bookplates) for its incredible attention to detail, mythical storytelling, and atmospheric depth. Item #32045
