EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Hans Burgkmair, depicting the legendary tale of Saint George and the Dragon. Created in 1508, this handwritten wood engraving in relief is a true masterpiece that has stood the test of time. The image transports us to Augsburg, Germany during the 16th century, where we witness an epic clash between good and evil. Saint George, adorned in his shining armor atop a majestic horse, fearlessly confronts a ferocious dragon with fiery breath. The intensity of their battle is palpable as they engage in a life-or-death struggle. Burgkmair's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings forth intricate patterns on both man and beast. The vibrant colors used add depth and dimension to this mythical scene. As we delve into this artwork further, we notice additional elements such as buildings in the background that enhance its overall composition. This piece not only captures our imagination but also serves as a testament to Christian faith and bravery. It reminds us of the power of belief and determination when faced with formidable challenges. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print continues to captivate audiences centuries later. Its presence at L'Europe et Gutenberg Exposition BnF Paris 2023 allows art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate Burgkmair's talent while immersing themselves in history and mythology alike.
