EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wooden carving depicting the iconic scene of St. George slaying the fearsome dragon. Created by a talented follower of Lorenzo Costa, this exquisite artwork is now preserved at the Medieval Civic Museum of Bologna. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this piece are truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate curve and delicate stroke brings the scene to life, capturing the intensity and bravery of St. George as he confronts his formidable foe. The dragon, with its menacing gaze and powerful stance, exudes an air of mythical enchantment that adds to the allure of this masterpiece. As we delve into the symbolism behind this artwork, we are reminded of its rich historical significance. St. George represents not only a revered saint but also embodies virtues such as courage, righteousness, and triumph over evil. This portrayal serves as a testament to Christian faith during Europe's Renaissance period. The fusion of Renaissance-Baroque styles evident in this carving further enhances its artistic value. The intricate details reflect meticulous craftsmanship while showcasing elements from both periods seamlessly merged together. Dating back to approximately 1450-1499 AD, this work transports us through time, allowing us to appreciate artistry from centuries past. Captured in black-and-white by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-1930 AD. , it preserves every nuance for generations to come. This print invites us on a visual journey into history—a glimpse into an era where literature and fiction intertwined with religious devotion—where legends were immortalized through artistry—and where imagination transcended reality itself.
