EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of "St George" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German artist from the Renaissance period. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for the book "Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten" by Georg Hirth in 1881-90. In this stunning portrayal, St George stands tall and proud, adorned in his armor and holding a sword and lance. His helmet gleams under the light, adding to his majestic presence. A halo surrounds his head, symbolizing his status as a saint within Christianity. The intricate details of this engraving highlight Cranach's mastery as an artist. From the delicate etchings on St George's armor to the expression on his face, every element comes together to create a powerful representation of this legendary figure. The inclusion of putti or cherubs adds an ethereal touch to the artwork, further emphasizing its religious significance. These heavenly beings surround St George with their innocent charm and serve as symbols of divine protection. This piece not only captures historical elements but also reflects German culture during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into 16th-century Germany through its depiction of traditional armor worn by soldiers at that time. Overall, this enchanting print invites viewers to delve into history while appreciating Cranach's artistic brilliance and celebrating St George's enduring legacy.
