EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief representing the Battle of St. George and the Dragon, which is proudly preserved at the Fine Arts Museum in Budapest, Hungary. The artwork itself dates back to the High Renaissance period between 1489 and 1554, created by the talented artist Rustici Giovan Francesco. The bas-relief depicts an intense scene where St. George valiantly battles a fearsome dragon atop his majestic horse. The intricate details of this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the mastery of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. As we delve into this image, we can appreciate various elements that bring it to life. The dragon portrayed here is a fanciful creature from literature and fiction, adding an air of mystique to the composition. St. George himself stands as a symbol of bravery and faith within Christian religion. Both male and female figures are present in this piece, adorned in exquisite clothing that reflects fashion during that era. A military helmet adorns one figure's head while another wears a headdress associated with civilians or religious individuals. The use of low relief sculpting technique adds depth to this masterpiece while capturing moments filled with aggression and physical rapport between characters on horseback. This photograph was taken around 1938 by Alinari Fratelli, allowing us to admire this extraordinary work even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Musee des Belles Artes in Budapest today. In summary, through this photo print, we are transported back centuries ago to witness an epic battle immortalized in stone—a testament to human creativity throughout Europe's rich history spanning multiple periods and styles.
