EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon depicting St. George and St. Demetrius, created in 1676 by the Russian School of the 17th century. Measuring at 31.2x27.7 cm, this tempera on panel masterpiece can be found at the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France. The image portrays two legendary figures from Greek mythology - St. George and St. Demetrius - both revered as heroes and martyrs in Christian tradition. In a stunning display of bravery and divine intervention, St. George is seen riding a majestic horse while slaying a fearsome dragon with his mighty sword. Stunningly detailed brushwork brings to life every element of this iconic scene; from the flowing robes of the saints to the intricate patterns adorning their armor, no detail has been overlooked by the skilled artist behind this work. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported into a world where mythical creatures clash with mortal men under heavenly guidance. The princess of Trebizond watches in awe as these holy warriors vanquish evil forces that threaten humanity's well-being. Through its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this artwork not only celebrates faith but also serves as a reminder that good will always triumph over evil when guided by unwavering devotion. Bridgeman Images has once again captured an extraordinary piece of art history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty for generations to come without any commercial use intentions
