ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON

ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON SOUTHERN GERMANY, SECOND HALF OF THE 15TH CENTURY Carved wooden sculpture. Dimensions: 66 x 64 x 18 cm. The group depicts Saint George on horseback in the act of piercing the dragon—which lies at the horse’s feet—with his long lance. The saint is depicted according to late medieval chivalric iconography, clad in armor and with his head protected by a helmet, while the horse, captured in motion, contributes to the composition’s marked dynamic quality.
