Painting Description
"Wedding of St. George and the Princess Sabra" is a watercolor painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed in 1857. The artwork is part of Rossetti's rich body of work that often combined romantic, medieval, and mythological elements. This painting illustrates the culmination of the legend of Saint George and the Dragon, a popular theme in Christian art and folklore, where the knight Saint George rescues a princess from a dragon's clutches and subsequently marries her.
In Rossetti's interpretation, the focus is on the intimate moment between St. George and Princess Sabra, the latter often identified as the king's daughter in the legend. The painting is notable for its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and the symbolic representation of the characters involved. Rossetti's depiction diverges from the traditional narrative of the dragon slaying, instead emphasizing the romantic and nuptial aspects of the story.
The work reflects Rossetti's fascination with medieval themes and his desire to challenge the artistic norms of his time by focusing on the beauty and complexity of emotional states, rather than adhering to the strictures of realism or classical subjects. "Wedding of St. George and the Princess Sabra" is exemplary of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's characteristic style, with its fine detail, rich colors, and incorporation of literary and symbolic elements.
The painting is part of a series of works by Rossetti that explore the St. George legend, and it has been analyzed for its portrayal of gender roles, its aesthetic connection to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and its place in Rossetti's broader oeuvre. As with many of Rossetti's pieces, this work has been the subject of scholarly attention and is appreciated for its contribution to the visual arts and its reflection of Victorian-era culture and values.
