Saint George and the Dragon c. 1470 - 1475

Martin Schongauer's "Saint George and the Dragon" (c. 1470 - 1475) is a masterful engraving that depicts the legendary tale of the brave knight Saint George slaying a fearsome dragon. The composition is circular, framed by a castle in the background, and showcases Schongauer's detailed and meticulous style. The intricate rendering of the dragon's scales, the knight's armor, and the flowing drapery of the princess in the distance demonstrates the artist's mastery of the engraving technique, making this a prized example of Northern Renaissance art.
