Saint Michael Causes the Nile to Recede
Chauveau, François, 1613-1676
An engraving depicting a scene from the ninth book of the epic poem, Saint Louys, in which the Archangel Michael forces the Nile to recede from where it had flooded, leaving the path clear for the crusaders. In the back ground, a fleet of ships can be seen, referencing a later event in the same book where Archambaut de Bourbon engages in a naval battle with Almasonte.
