This woodcut, created by Hans Springinklee between 1516 and 1518, depicts Saint George as the patron saint of Emperor Maximilian I. Saint George is shown slaying a dragon while Maximilian, in full armor and holding a scepter, kneels in prayer before a chapel in the background. The work demonstrates the importance of Christian faith in the life of the Holy Roman Emperor. This woodcut, which is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a good example of the detailed style common in woodcuts during the Renaissance.
