EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall painting found in the Church of St Gieri, Rhazuns, Grisons, Switzerland. Created by an unknown artist during the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century, this piece depicts the iconic scene of St. George slaying a fearsome dragon. The image captures a moment filled with heroism and bravery as St. George valiantly wields his lance against the menacing creature. The photograph is taken from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert, published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd in Berlin in 1928. It presents Plate LXXIII, fig 153 from this comprehensive book on color decoration. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this lithograph highlight both medieval artistry and religious symbolism prevalent during that era. The fresco's location within a church adds to its significance as it serves not only as decorative interior design but also as a visual representation of Christian beliefs. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical art forms and cultural heritage preserved within sacred spaces like churches. It reminds us of our rich artistic past while inspiring awe for those who came before us and their ability to create enduring masterpieces that continue to captivate audiences today.
