Der Heilige Georg nach der Überwindung des Drachens, über ihm schwebend die Jungfrau Maria, umgeben von musizierenden Engeln 

This is a pen and brown ink drawing by Carlo Caliari, depicting Saint George after defeating the dragon, with the Virgin Mary floating above, surrounded by musical angels. Caliari was working in Venice during the late Renaissance, a time when art was deeply intertwined with religious and political power. The image showcases a heroic, masculine figure who triumphs over chaos and evil. But look closely and you'll see Mary and the Christ child, who are revered in Catholic tradition as maternal figures, and are celebrated for their nurturing and protective qualities. The gaze is torn between earthly and heavenly power. While St. George's heroism is celebrated, the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a choir of angels, embodies divine grace. Ultimately, the drawing emphasizes the power of faith and divine intervention in human affairs. But it’s the tension between these figures that gives this drawing its emotional and spiritual depth, reflecting the complex relationship between earthly actions and divine will.
