St. George 1467

Andrea Mantegna's "St. George" (1467) depicts the saint in full armor, standing against a backdrop of a distant city and a winding river. The composition is typical of Mantegna's style, with a strong emphasis on perspective and geometric precision. St. George's muscular physique and stoic expression convey his strength and courage, while the detailed armor and weaponry highlight the military context of the scene. The image is framed within a stone arch, creating a sense of depth and realism. This work is a powerful example of Mantegna's mastery of Renaissance art techniques.
