EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork of "17294, fol 448 St. George killing Dragons" by an anonymous English School artist from the 15th century. The vellum manuscript, housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, is a true testament to medieval artistry. The image depicts St. George, the valiant knight and patron saint of England, locked in a fierce battle with two menacing dragons. With his lance held high and determination etched on his face, he triumphantly overcomes these mythical creatures as a symbol of good conquering evil. The scene unfolds within a continuous narrative that captures every moment of this epic encounter. A princess watches from afar with awe and gratitude for her savior's bravery. The inscription adds depth to the story while emphasizing St. George's heroic deeds. The intricate details found throughout this manuscript are truly remarkable - from the meticulously drawn figures to the elaborate building backdrop and historiated capital D at its beginning. Originally created for the Duke of Bedford, this breviary of Salisbury holds immense historical significance and cultural value. Its Latin text further immerses us into the medieval world it represents. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this masterpiece through a high-quality print that brings out every delicate stroke and vibrant color palette used by its talented creator.
