EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Saint George" by Carlo Crivelli, a renowned Italian artist from the late Gothic period. Painted in 1472, this tempera on wood artwork with a gold ground has been transferred to Masonite for preservation. The panel was originally part of an altarpiece created for a Dominican church in Ascoli Piceno, Italy. In this striking depiction, Saint George is portrayed as a valiant knight clad in armor and standing tall against evil forces. With his sword raised high, he confronts a fearsome dragon symbolizing defeat and biblical temptation. This powerful image embodies the triumph of good over evil and reflects Christian mythology. Carlo Crivelli's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this medieval Italian Renaissance painting. The ornate decorative elements surrounding Saint George add depth and symbolism to the composition, showcasing Crivelli's mastery as an artist. Housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this artwork serves as a testament to Crivelli's contribution to religious art during that era. Its intricate design and rich colors transport viewers back in time while reminding us of the enduring power of faith and courage.
