EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint George, a valiant knight clad in armor, gallops on horseback towards the ominous, fire-breathing dragon that lies in wait before a serene mountain lake. The mythical beast, its scales glistening in the sunlight, unleashes a plume of smoke and flames as it prepares to attack. With unwavering determination, Saint George raises his lance high, ready to strike the decisive blow. The dramatic scene, created by the masterful hand of Albrecht Altdorfer in 1511, is a captivating depiction of the legendary encounter between the saint and the dragon. This engraving, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Germany, is a stunning example of the artist's skill in conveying movement, emotion, and the interplay of light and shadow. The mountainous backdrop, with its towering peaks and lush greenery, adds to the sense of grandeur and majesty. This powerful image, a cherished piece of Christian mythology, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, inviting them to explore the depths of the human spirit and the enduring power of faith.
