EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Saint George and the Dragon" by the Master of Sir John Fastolf, a French artist active in the early 15th century. Created between 1430 and 1440 in either France or England, this exquisite artwork is executed with tempera colors, gold leaf, and ink on parchment. The focal point of this composition is Saint George himself, depicted as a valiant knight mounted on his horse. With unwavering determination, he confronts a fearsome dragon that looms before him. The intricate details of their encounter are brought to life through the artist's meticulous brushwork and use of vibrant pigments. Sir John Fastolf, an English nobleman known for his military prowess during the Hundred Years' War, commissioned this artwork. It serves as both a testament to his chivalry and an emblematic representation of Saint George's triumph over evil. Measuring at just 12.1 x 9.2 cm (4 3/4 x 3 5/8 inches), this small yet powerful leaf from an illuminated manuscript transports viewers into a world where legends come alive. Its delicate craftsmanship invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transcend time and transport us to distant realms filled with heroism and mythical creatures.
