EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint George, as depicted in a mesmerizing drawing by Luca Signorelli. Housed within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum of Oxford, this artwork showcases the mastery of Signorelli and offers a glimpse into the High Renaissance period. The drawing itself is an exquisite example of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, showcasing intricate details that transport viewers to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph was taken in 1953, while the original artwork dates back to around 1460-1523. Signorelli's skillful hand brings Saint George to life on paper, depicting him with a gesture that exudes strength and determination. The composition highlights various elements such as instruments of communication, including a military helmet and shield. These objects not only serve practical purposes but also symbolize religious devotion and knightly virtues. Saint George sits atop his majestic horse, surrounded by terrestrial mammals and other vertebrate animals. His headdress reflects both civilian fashion trends of that era as well as military attire befitting his role as a knight. As a male saint deeply rooted in Christian religion, Saint George represents bravery and chivalry. This artwork serves as an homage to his legendary feats against mythical creatures like dragons – acts which have made him an enduring symbol throughout history. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this significant piece through their lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Signorelli's remarkable talent while immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of European art history from centuries past.
