EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the beauty and intricacy of Andrea della Robbia's glazed terracotta masterpiece, "St George and the Dragon". Located in the Parish Church of Santa Maria and San Giorgio in Brancoli, Lucca, this low relief artwork showcases elements from various artistic styles and periods. Dating back to around 1455-1528, Della Robbia's creation depicts St. George, a male saint from Christian religion, mounted on his horse as he bravely confronts a fearsome dragon. The artist skillfully portrays this allegorical battle between good and evil through detailed representations of arms, armor, swords, lances, and spears. The composition is further enhanced by the presence of a seraph or angelic figure hovering above St. George - an ethereal symbol representing divine intervention or guidance during times of conflict. Surrounding them is a rocky landscape adorned with lush vegetation including trees and festoons that add depth to the scene. Della Robbia's attention to detail extends beyond the central figures; even their clothing reflects fashion trends prevalent during the Renaissance period. From St. George's hat to his noble attire befitting someone of high rank within European nobility at that time. This photograph was taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli but serves as a timeless testament to Della Robbia's enduring artistry. It not only showcases his mastery over glazed terracotta but also highlights how religious themes were interpreted through different artistic movements throughout history. "St George and the Dragon" continues to captivate viewers with its powerful symbolism rooted in literature and fiction while serving as an important representation of early Renaissance art in Europe.
