EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Stephan Paumgartner portrayed as Saint George, the left panel of the Paumgartner Altarpiece. Painted around 1500 by Albrecht Dürer, this tempera on panel masterpiece is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. In this iconic depiction, St. George stands triumphantly with a banner bearing the cross of Saint George while subduing a defeated dragon beneath him. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is that it is believed to be one of the earliest instances where an artist used the facial features of a donor to portray a saint. Commissioned by Stephan and Lukas for the Church of Saint Catherine in Nuremberg, it is speculated that this painting was created after Stephan's safe return from his pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1498. The altarpiece serves as both a religious offering and a testament to their gratitude for his safe journey. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this medieval scene filled with symbolism and piety. The presence of St. George represents bravery and victory over evil forces, making it an inspiring piece that resonates even today. As we admire this gift from centuries past, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical context within German art history during the Middle Ages. This print allows us to appreciate Dürer's masterful technique and storytelling ability while capturing our imagination with its timeless beauty.
