EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rogier van der Weyden's masterpiece, "St. George and the Dragon" painted between 1432 and 1435. The oil on panel artwork, measuring 14.3x10.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. In this Northern Renaissance painting, St. George stands valiantly clad in armor with a flag fluttering behind him against a picturesque landscape backdrop. With unwavering determination, he confronts a fearsome dragon that threatens to unleash chaos upon the town. The mythical creature writhes beneath St. George's lance as the brave knight prepares to strike a fatal blow. A distressed princess watches from afar, her fate hanging in the balance as she awaits rescue from her captor. Weyden's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the bones scattered around them to the vibrant colors adorning their attire and surroundings. "St. George and the Dragon" embodies themes of heroism and religious symbolism prevalent during its time period while also delving into mythology and paganism through its depiction of legendary creatures. This remarkable piece captures an intense battle between good and evil, showcasing both physical conflict and spiritual triumph over adversity – making it an enduring symbol of courage for generations to come.
