EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Russian masterpiece, "St. George and the Dragon" dating back to the 15th century. Created by an anonymous artist from Vologda, this tempera on panel artwork measures an impressive 94.5x60x3 cm and is currently housed in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image depicts a dramatic scene where St. George, mounted on his noble steed, fearlessly confronts a menacing dragon while a distressed princess watches from afar. The composition exudes both power and grace as St. George raises his sword high above his head ready to strike down evil with divine intervention. Surrounded by celestial beings including angels and an angelic hand of God descending from heaven, this painting captures not only religious symbolism but also showcases exquisite craftsmanship of the Russian School during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable - every brushstroke brings life to each character present in this narrative-rich artwork. From the intricate armor worn by St. George to the majestic presence of horses galloping across lush landscapes, every element adds depth and dimension to this timeless piece. As we gaze upon this magnificent print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness a legendary tale unfold before our eyes – reminding us of humanity's eternal struggle against darkness and its unwavering pursuit for justice and triumph over adversity.
