EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. George and the Dragon" from the Eger workshops in Germany during the 17th century. The stained wood panel measures 32.1x31.7 cm and is part of a private collection, beautifully captured by Christie's Images. In this legendary scene, St. George, a traditional knight of mythological lore, fearlessly battles an evil dragon on horseback. With his lance held high, he charges towards the fearsome beast with determination and bravery etched upon his face. The intricate woodcarving depicts every detail of this mythical creature as it writhes in agony under St. George's spear. The baroque-style relief carving adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it come alive before our eyes. The decorative equestrian art combines elements of both Christianity and paganism, symbolizing the eternal struggle between good and evil. St. George represents heroism and righteousness while slaying this monstrous creature that embodies all things wicked. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects Christian values such as courage, faith, and triumph over adversity through divine intervention. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this masterpiece for us to appreciate its artistic brilliance for years to come without commercial use intentions mentioned or associated with any company or organization involved in its creation or distribution process.
