EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the legendary tale of St. George, the brave and virtuous knight, as he rides valiantly on horseback to save a distressed maiden and slay a fearsome dragon. The saint, clad in full armor and donning a distinctive red cross on his shield and surcoat, gazes intently at the monstrous beast with unwavering determination. The dragon, with its menacing scales, fiery breath, and sinuous body, coils around the princess, ready to strike. St. George, a renowned soldier and Christian martyr, was a popular figure in medieval Europe, and his story of courage and victory over evil spread far and wide. According to legend, he was summoned to a distant land to protect the people from a dragon that demanded a human sacrifice. With his unwavering faith and unyielding spirit, St. George rode forth on his noble steed, Rumleys, to confront the beast. The knight's powerful spear pierces the dragon's heart, and the creature lets out a final roar before collapsing to the ground. The princess, freed from the dragon's clutches, looks up in awe and gratitude, as St. George dismounts from Rumleys and approaches her. The scene is one of triumph and relief, as the people rejoice in their deliverance from the dragon's terror. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and folklore of St. George and his legendary battle against the dragon. The intricate details of the knight's armor, the fierce expression on the dragon's face, and the dramatic composition of the image transport us back in time, allowing us to witness this iconic moment in history.
