EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ceramic tile from Aleppo, Syria, dating back to 1699. Created by the Ottoman School in the 17th century, this exquisite piece measures 9.2 cm and is now held in a private collection. The tile is adorned with an array of vibrant colors including manganese, black, light blue, turquoise, and pale green-yellow. The focal point of this artwork depicts St. George fearlessly slaying a menacing dragon. Painted with great attention to detail, the scene portrays the legendary saint mounted on his horse as he tramples over the mythical creature with his spear raised high. This unique representation of St. George's triumph over evil reflects both Christian symbolism and Middle Eastern artistic traditions. The tile's decorative elements showcase intricate patterns and motifs commonly found in Syrian pottery during that era. With its rich history and cultural significance, this ceramic masterpiece serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of artisans from Aleppo during the Ottoman Empire period. Its depiction of heroism and religious devotion resonates strongly even centuries later. Through this photograph captured by Christie's Images and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance of this exceptional work of art from early 17th-century Syria.
