This 15th-century print by Master ES, depicts the legendary Christian saint, Saint George, slaying the dragon. The scene is set in a mountainous landscape, with a distant town in the background, while Saint George, mounted on horseback, plunges his lance into the dragon’s mouth. This popular subject, represents the triumph of good over evil. The artist's meticulous detail and dramatic composition emphasize the intensity of the moment.
