The "Saint George" icon, created in 1125 by Orthodox Icons, depicts the patron saint of Moscow. The icon, housed in the Dormition (Assumption) Cathedral of Moscow Kremlin, showcases a stylized image of Saint George in traditional Byzantine style. The image is characterized by a flattened perspective, elongated proportions, and a solemn expression, reflecting the icon's devotional purpose. The use of gold leaf and bold colors creates a sense of reverence and emphasizes the icon's religious significance. While the icon's surface displays visible wear and tear, these marks only add to its historical significance.
