"St. George" is a woodcut print by the Master IAM of Zwolle, a Dutch artist active from 1465 to 1495. The print depicts the iconic scene of St. George slaying a dragon, a popular subject in Christian art. The print's detail shows St. George on horseback, spear poised to strike the dragon, while a woman representing the town he is saving, watches. The dragon is depicted with intricate detail and dynamism, adding to the drama and tension of the scene. The print is now part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
