EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic illustration of "George and the Dragon" from King Albert's Book, published around 1914. Created by the talented British artist Riviere (1840-1920), this colourful lithograph depicts a legendary scene that has captivated audiences for centuries. In this image, we witness Saint George, the patron saint of England, bravely engaging in combat with a fearsome dragon. Clad in shining armor, he fearlessly confronts the monstrous creature to protect his people and uphold Christian values. The heroic nature of this medieval legend is beautifully captured through Riviere's meticulous attention to detail. The intensity of the battle is palpable as Saint George valiantly fights against all odds. His unwavering determination shines through even as he faces imminent danger and potential death. This illustration serves as a testament to courage and selflessness, inspiring generations with its timeless message. With its vibrant colors and enchanting composition, this children's illustration transports us into a world filled with adventure and heroism. It invites viewers of all ages to immerse themselves in an age-old tale where good triumphs over evil. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this remarkable artwork continues to evoke awe and admiration for both its artistic merit and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our own capacity for bravery when faced with daunting challenges – just like Saint George himself.
