EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vittore Carpaccio's masterpiece, "St. George Killing the Dragon" painted between 1502 and 1507. The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 141x360 cm and is housed in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni in Venice, Italy. In this iconic artwork, St. George, the Patron Saint of England, takes center stage as he valiantly battles a fearsome dragon. Riding on horseback through a mountainous landscape, St. George concentrates his focus on defeating the monstrous creature with his lance. With heroic determination, he stabs the serpent-like beast while its lifeless body lies mutilated beneath him. The painting beautifully captures the intensity of this mythological encounter, with intricate details showcasing every bone-chilling moment. The winged lizard writhes in agony as it meets its demise at the hands of our brave hero. Carpaccio's skillful use of color and composition transports viewers into a world where legends come to life. From the fortification in the background to the skeletal remains scattered across the scene, each element adds depth and symbolism to this timeless piece. As we gaze upon this stunning work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of St. George's unwavering courage and triumph over evil—a testament to humanity's eternal struggle against adversity.
