EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic moment of "St George killing the dragon" in 1884. Created by artist George Heywood Maunoir Sumner, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of this legendary tale. St George, a revered figure in Christianity and the patron saint of various regions including England, Catalonia, and Russia, is depicted as a courageous Roman centurion riding on his horse. In this intense scene, St George fearlessly engages in combat with a menacing dragon - a mythical creature symbolizing evil. Armed with his lance, he valiantly fights for good against this formidable foe. The artwork exudes an aura of heroism and religious devotion as it portrays the triumph of righteousness over darkness. Sumner's attention to detail is evident through his intricate depiction of both man and beast. The intensity on St George's face reflects his determination to vanquish evil while mounted on his majestic steed. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, faith can empower individuals to overcome challenges. As we admire this nineteenth-century masterpiece from Heritage Images' collection by George Heywood Maunoir Sumner himself, we are transported back in time to witness an epic battle between good and evil unfold before our eyes. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture timeless stories that resonate across generations.
