Benedetto Montagna's 1506 woodcut, "Saint George," depicts the saintly warrior standing over a slain dragon, a testament to his bravery and faith. The print showcases Montagna's mastery of detail, with intricate renderings of Saint George's armor, the dragon, and the surrounding architectural features. The dramatic composition and expressive figures highlight the narrative's power, making this work a significant example of the Venetian Renaissance's artistic style. The print is held at The Art Institute of Chicago, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the artistic landscape of the early 16th century.
