EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from the Gothic altarpiece of Sant Jordi, created by Pere Nicart in the 15th century, is housed in the Diocesan Museum of Palma, Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain. The intricately carved and painted piece tells the legendary story of Saint George, the patron saint of Catalonia and Aragon, who slayed a dragon to save a princess. In this detail, we see the moment of triumph, with Saint George standing proudly on horseback, his lance piercing the dragon's heart, and the princess looking on in relief. The serene waters of the Palmas Port are depicted in the background, with boats and a castle adding to the idyllic scene. The altarpiece's exquisite craftsmanship showcases the rich artistic heritage of the Mediterranean, with influences from both the Gothic and Catalan traditions. This historic relic transports us back to a time of chivalry, faith, and the beauty of the European coastline.
