EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "St. George on Foot" by Albrecht Dürer, created between 1504-05. The engraving measures 11.3x7.1 cm and is housed in the esteemed Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, USA, as part of Calvin J. Holmes' generous bequest. In this masterpiece, we witness St. George's valiant stance against a fearsome dragon that looms before him. Clad in gleaming armor and holding a flag adorned with Christian symbols high above his head, he epitomizes unwavering faith and courage. The scene unfolds along a picturesque coastline where crashing waves meet the shore - an evocative reminder of St. George's maritime origins as the patron saint of sailors and coastal regions. Dürer skillfully captures every detail: from the intricate armory to the slain dragons scattered at St. George's feet; each element contributes to the narrative of vanquishing evil forces through unwavering devotion to Christianity. Halos illuminate both St. George and his standard, symbolizing their divine connection and sacred purpose in defending righteousness. This remarkable engraving not only serves as a testament to Dürer's artistic prowess but also immortalizes one of history's most revered saints who continues to inspire believers worldwide with his bravery and unyielding dedication to his faith.
