Scott Gustafson's "St. George and the Dragon" is a modern interpretation of the legendary tale. The painting depicts St. George on horseback, wielding a lance, confronting a fearsome dragon with its sharp claws and menacing gaze. The composition is dynamic, capturing the intensity of the moment. The rich colors and detailed rendering of the figures and the dragon lend a sense of realism to this mythical scene. This work is a testament to the enduring appeal of the St. George legend and its themes of courage and triumph over evil.
