EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Saint Georges" transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and mythical subject matter. Created by John Gilbert in 1869, this print showcases Saint George, a legendary figure known for his valiant battle against a fearsome dragon. The image depicts Saint George mounted on his noble steed, poised with a lance in hand as he confronts the monstrous creature. The artist's skillful rendering brings out every nuance of emotion on the saint's face, capturing both determination and bravery. The dragon looms menacingly in the background, its scales glistening under Gilbert's masterful use of shading. This illustration is part of Michel Levy's renowned publication "Chefs-D Oeuvre de La Gravure Moderne" which highlights exceptional engravings from various artists. It exemplifies the artistic excellence prevalent during that era. The print not only celebrates mythology but also reflects religious themes through its portrayal of Saint George as a symbol of faith and courage. His royal highness stands as an embodiment of virtue while defending princesses and upholding justice. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate Gilbert's talent and delve into the enchanting world of mythological creatures. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through visual artistry.
