Original Description
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones’ Saint George and the Dragon (1866) is a Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that weaves medieval legend with luminous symbolism. The dreamlike scene captures the climactic moment when the saint, clad in gleaming armor, delivers the fatal blow to the coiled dragon, while Princess Sabra watches in rapt stillness. Bathed in an ethereal glow, the painting’s intricate details—from the dragon’s sinuous scales to the delicate wildflowers at Sabra’s feet—exemplify Burne-Jones’ meticulous craftsmanship. The composition’s flattened perspective and jewel-toned palette reflect his admiration for early Renaissance art, while the melancholic grace infuses the work with the Aesthetic Movement’s "art for art’s sake" philosophy. As part of the Tate Britain’s collection, this seminal work bridges Pre-Raphaelite storytelling with the later Arts and Crafts movement, solidifying Burne-Jones’ legacy as a visionary of Victorian romanticism.
For decor, this painting’s rich narrative and gold-accented hues make it ideal for a study or library, where its themes of chivalry resonate with wood-paneled walls and leather furnishings. Opt for a gilded frame to amplify its medieval tapestry-like quality, and hang it at eye level as a focal point. In minimalist spaces, let the artwork’s deep blues and greens anchor neutral tones—pair with velvet upholstery or a Persian rug for texture. A smaller-scale reproduction (around 24x36 inches) suits intimate corners, while larger formats command attention in corporate lobbies or boardrooms, paired with wrought-iron lighting for cohesion. Avoid cluttering nearby walls; the scene demands contemplative space to fully appreciate its lyricism.
