EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "St. George killing the dragon" by Raphael, also known as Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. The artwork depicts St. George on horseback, bravely wielding a lance to vanquish a fearsome dragon. This particular print is distinguished from another similar pen drawing by Raphael titled "Saint George with the sword". It serves as a preparatory drawing for a painting in Petersburg dating back to 1506. Raphael's masterful brushwork and attention to detail are evident in this Renaissance masterpiece, which belongs to the Roman School of art. The image captures the intensity of the battle between good and evil, symbolizing St. George's triumph over darkness and paganism. The composition exudes power and heroism, highlighting St. George as an emblematic figure who embodies Christian values and religious devotion. The artist skillfully portrays both man and beast in their struggle for dominance, creating a sense of conflict that resonates with viewers. In addition to its artistic significance, this print offers glimpses into 16th-century life through depictions of horses - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - alongside other farm animals such as livestock. These elements add depth and realism to the scene while showcasing Raphael's ability to capture wildlife with precision. Overall, this print encapsulates not only an extraordinary work of art but also explores themes such as bravery, legendry figures like Saint George himself along with his heroic attributes that have stood the test of time throughout history.
