EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a mesmerizing scene of Saint George and the Dragon set against a majestic mountainous landscape. The artwork, attributed to Luca Signorelli's workshop, was created between 1495 and 1505. In the foreground, we witness Saint George, a valiant knight on horseback, triumphantly defeating the fearsome dragon. The bodies of men slain by the beast lay scattered on the ground as evidence of their fierce battle. On the left side of the composition stands a young woman with her arms raised in astonishment or perhaps pleading for mercy. On the right side, we observe Sint Joris departing with his rescued princess atop another magnificent steed. As they ride away into safety, one can sense relief and gratitude emanating from both figures. The background reveals an awe-inspiring panorama featuring grand palaces and remnants of ancient ruins amidst lush greenery. This juxtaposition symbolizes victory over evil while emphasizing nature's resilience and enduring beauty. Saint George is depicted clad in gleaming armor astride a white horse, brandishing his sword victoriously. His broken lance lies discarded on the ground as testament to his unwavering determination. The princess nearby may be seen either fervently praying for deliverance or fleeing from danger herself - her emotions left open to interpretation by viewers. Overall, this remarkable artwork captures not only an iconic tale but also showcases Signorelli's mastery in portraying dramatic scenes through skillful use of oil paint on panel.
