About the Item

Saint George and the Dragon Alpine painter, 17th century Oil on canvas 142 x 96 cm. - framed 158 x 111 cm. The large painting evocatively illustrates the triumph against the dragon of St. George, a noble knight of the Christian faith, whose miraculous adventure, imbued with symbolic meanings in the struggle between Good and Evil, has always been a favourite theme in art: in the Renaissance period it made it possible to stage ideals and values of both chivalry and religion. An analysis of the stylistic features allow us to attribute the work to a painter marked by Alpine culture at the height of the 17th century, although the pictorial stylistic features are more archaic and refer to northern Italian painting of the 16th century. "He arrived one day in the kingdom of Silene, ravaged by the presence of a terrible dragon, whose destructive power could only be contained by human sacrifice. It was the 'soldier of Christ' who killed the dangerous beast and saved the sovereign's daughter from the monster's jaws, and as a reward he wanted neither honours nor money, but for all the people to convert to Christianity by receiving baptism". In the painting, Saint George, saint and knight at the same time, is caught in the moment of his triumph over the Dragon, as he spears him. He is depicted according to traditional iconography, astride his steed, dressed in shining armour and a crested helmet, while his iridescent red cloak appears puffed by the wind, enhancing the dynamism of the sculptural figure. Defiladed, to the right, is the princess, composedly praying, gazing with devotion at the hero in action; while behind her we can make out a building perched on high walls for protection from the dragon. Good condition. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold complete with a beautiful gilded wooden frame and comes with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.
