The Codex of St. George, particularly Folio 85r, is an exquisite example of medieval manuscript illumination attributed to the Master of the Codex of St. George, an anonymous artist active during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. This codex is a richly decorated manuscript that exemplifies the intricate artistry and religious devotion characteristic of the period. The Master of the Codex of St. George is renowned for his detailed and vibrant illustrations, which often depict scenes from the lives of saints, biblical narratives, and other religious themes.

Folio 85r of the Codex of St. George is particularly notable for its depiction of St. George, a Christian martyr and one of the most venerated saints in Christianity. The folio captures the dramatic moment of St. George slaying the dragon, a legend that symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The illumination is marked by its vivid colors, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of gold leaf, which adds a luminous quality to the scene. The composition is both dynamic and balanced, with St. George portrayed in a heroic stance, his lance piercing the dragon, while the princess he saves stands in the background, embodying the virtues of faith and purity.

The Master of the Codex of St. George's style is characterized by a blend of Gothic and early Renaissance elements, reflecting the transitional period in which he worked. His figures are rendered with a sense of realism and expressiveness, yet they retain the stylized elegance typical of Gothic art. The use of perspective, although not fully developed, shows an awareness of spatial depth that would later be perfected during the Renaissance.
