This 1499 Orthodox Icon, titled "Saint George", depicts the legendary Christian saint slaying a dragon. Saint George is depicted in full armor, with a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left, standing over the defeated dragon. The icon is typical of the Byzantine style, with its flatness and simple lines. The iconography of Saint George battling a dragon is a popular theme in Christian art, representing the triumph of good over evil. This icon, created by the Orthodox Icon artists, is a striking example of the tradition, featuring a majestic composition and vibrant colors.
