Painting Description
"St George (b.111; M., Holl.225)" is a notable engraving created by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Dürer, born in 1471 in Nuremberg, is widely celebrated for his contributions to printmaking, painting, and theoretical writings on art. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, innovative techniques, and profound influence on the Northern Renaissance.
The engraving "St George" depicts the legendary Christian martyr and dragon-slayer, Saint George, who is often venerated as a symbol of chivalry and valor. In this particular work, Dürer captures the moment of triumph as Saint George, mounted on a horse, delivers the fatal blow to the dragon. The composition is marked by its dynamic movement and the intricate detailing of both the knight's armor and the dragon's scales, showcasing Dürer's exceptional skill in rendering textures and forms.
Created around 1508-1509, this engraving is part of Dürer's extensive body of work that explores religious and mythological themes. The piece is cataloged as b.111 in Bartsch's comprehensive catalog of Dürer's prints and as M., Holl.225 in other notable references. Dürer's engravings were highly influential, spreading his fame across Europe and establishing him as a master of the medium.
The "St George" engraving reflects Dürer's deep engagement with the humanist ideals of his time, blending classical motifs with Christian iconography. His ability to convey narrative through detailed imagery and his innovative use of line and shading techniques have made this work a significant example of early 16th-century printmaking.
Dürer's "St George" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and historical importance, representing a key moment in the evolution of European art. The engraving is housed in various collections worldwide, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate Dürer's legacy and his contribution to the visual culture of the Renaissance.
