EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century oil on panel painting, titled "Saint George and the Dragon" by Cesare Rossetti, captures the legendary moment when Saint George, the brave knight and patron saint of England, rescues a princess from the clutches of a mythical dragon. Dressed in rich, vibrant apparel, Saint George is depicted riding on horseback, his cape billowing in the wind as he gazes up at the dragon, which lies defeated at his feet. The dragon, a fearsome creature with scales of dark, almost black color, is shown writhing in submission, its once menacing form now tamed by the hero's courage and faith. The painting, created between 1620 and 1644, showcases the artist's mastery of color and detail. The princess, dressed in a flowing red gown, looks on in awe and relief, her hands clasped together in prayer. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rugged, rocky landscape, adding to the sense of drama and heroism. Originally from Italy, Cesare Rossetti was a renowned artist of the Renaissance period, known for his religious and mythological paintings. This work, with its powerful imagery and intricate detail, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint George and the Dragon, a tale of courage, heroism, and the triumph of good over evil.
