St. George 1495 - 1525

"St. George" is a 16th-century engraving by Nicoletto da Modena, showcasing the patron saint of England in a dramatic pose. St. George, clad in armor, stands triumphantly over a slain dragon, his spear held high and a banner draped behind him. The artist's signature appears prominently in the background, along with intricate architectural details, creating a sense of grandeur and historical significance. This artwork, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies the Renaissance's fascination with religious narratives and classical artistic traditions.
