EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic masterpiece "Saint George and the Dragon" from the late 14th century. Created by the renowned Novgorod School of Art in Russia, this Russian icon is now housed in the esteemed State Russian Museum in St Petersburg. The image depicts a powerful scene where Saint George, a revered figure in Christianity and Russian Orthodox tradition, valiantly battles a fearsome dragon. Clad in vibrant medieval attire with a flowing cloak, he sits atop his majestic horse as they confront this mythical creature. The artwork beautifully captures the concept of good versus evil, symbolized by Saint George's halo representing his divine nature and righteousness. With spear in hand and mounted on his noble steed, he fearlessly engages in combat to protect his countrymen from this menacing beast. This painting not only exemplifies exceptional artistic skill but also reflects religious devotion and cultural significance. The intricate details of each brushstroke bring life to both man and animal alike, showcasing their strength and determination amidst an intense battle. As we gaze upon this fine art piece, we are transported back to the Middle Ages - an era filled with mythology, warfare, and heroic tales. It serves as a reminder of our rich history while inspiring us to embrace courage when faced with adversity.
