Saint George 1760

Johann Georg Pinzel’s “Saint George” is a Baroque sculpture from 1760 depicting the Christian saint defeating a dragon, a popular subject for the artist. This work showcases the artist’s dynamic style, with the figures rendered in a powerful and expressive manner. The dramatic composition, with Saint George lunging forward on his horse, creates a sense of action and intensity, highlighting the triumph of good over evil. This sculpture, like many of Pinzel's works, was likely intended for a church or public space, serving as a reminder of faith and heroism.
