EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint George, a noble and valiant knight, is depicted in this engraving by Benedetto Montagna from the 16th century. Dating back to 1506, this print on tan laid paper showcases the legendary moment when Saint George slays the dragon, saving a princess from its clutches. The dragon, a mythical beast with large wings and serpentine body, lies defeated beneath the horse's hooves, its fiery breath extinguished. Saint George, clad in armor and in prayer, stands tall and resolute, his lance piercing the dragon's heart. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and heroism, as the princess looks on in awe and relief. Benedetto Montagna, an Italian artist, masterfully captures the essence of this mythological tale, which has been passed down through the ages as a symbol of courage, strength, and the triumph of good over evil. The engraving, with its intricate lines and attention to detail, is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of Italy during the Renaissance period.
