EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass artwork, titled "St George & The Dragon" transports us back to the year 1886. Created by Edward Holmes Jewitt, a renowned artist of his time, this masterpiece can be found at Pownall Hall Farm in Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK. The scene depicted is one of bravery and triumph as St George stands tall in his shining armor, holding a flag that symbolizes his Christian faith. With great skill and attention to detail, the artist has captured the mythical battle between St George and the fearsome dragon. The dragon's fierce expression contrasts with the serene beauty of its surroundings - an aestheticism characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement. Mounted on horseback with an idealized landscape behind him, St George emerges victorious from this legendary encounter. The vibrant colors used in this stained glass piece bring life to every element: from the flowering tree beside him to the waves crashing against rocks in the sea. This work not only showcases Victorian artistry but also pays homage to pre-Raphaelite influences through its stylized depiction of horses and botanical elements. It serves as a testament to both historical events and mythical tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. Alastair Carew-Cox has expertly captured this stunning artwork through photography while preserving its original beauty for generations to come.
