EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print by Byam Shaw titled "Saint George" captures the essence of patriotism, chivalry, and historical legend. Depicting a rather vicious looking St. George mounted on his horse, poised to slay a very dead dragon, this image is steeped in symbolism and tradition.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate armor worn by St. George and the menacing appearance of the dragon lying lifeless at his feet. The scene exudes a sense of triumph and victory, as St. George upholds the values of courage and honor that have made him an enduring symbol of knighthood.
Through Shaw's skillful rendering, viewers are transported back in time to an era when tales of brave knights battling mythical beasts captivated imaginations. This portrayal not only celebrates the legendary heroism of St. George but also serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling to inspire generations.
As every "Johnnie Bull knows," this iconic image resonates with themes of bravery, sacrifice, and righteousness that continue to hold relevance today. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of historical narratives and their ability to evoke feelings of pride and admiration for those who embody noble ideals like St. George himself.
