Painting Description
"St. George On Horseback Slaying The Dragon" (Bartsch 64; Hollstein 82; Dodgson 90) is a notable engraving by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist. Cranach, who was born in 1472 and died in 1553, is renowned for his contributions to both painting and printmaking, and he played a significant role in the visual culture of the Reformation era. This particular work, created around 1506, exemplifies Cranach's skill in engraving and his ability to convey dynamic narratives through intricate detail and composition.
The engraving depicts the legendary tale of Saint George, a Christian martyr and soldier, who is celebrated for his heroic act of slaying a dragon to save a princess and her town. In the artwork, Saint George is portrayed mounted on a rearing horse, clad in armor, and wielding a lance aimed at the dragon. The dragon, a symbol of evil and chaos, is shown in a moment of defeat, enhancing the dramatic intensity of the scene. The background features a detailed landscape, adding depth and context to the central action.
Cranach's interpretation of this popular medieval legend reflects the artist's mastery of the engraving medium, characterized by precise lines and meticulous attention to detail. The composition balances movement and stillness, capturing the climactic moment of the battle while also providing a sense of the broader narrative. The engraving is part of a larger body of work by Cranach that includes religious and mythological themes, often infused with moral and allegorical significance.
"St. George On Horseback Slaying The Dragon" is cataloged in several important references, including Bartsch 64, Hollstein 82, and Dodgson 90, which are essential for scholars and collectors studying Cranach's oeuvre. The work remains an important example of early 16th-century printmaking and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
