EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Carnival Sleigh with the figure of St George, a remarkable piece created by the Russian School in the 18th century. Crafted from wood and adorned with delicate gold leaf, this ornate sculpture measures an impressive 360 cm in length and is housed within the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The centerpiece of this exquisite sleigh is none other than St. George himself, a legendary saint known for his valiant battle against a fearsome dragon. The intricate details of this sculptural masterpiece bring to life the epic tale as St. George triumphantly slays the menacing creature. Every aspect of this ceremonial sled exudes opulence and grandeur - from its decorative horse-drawn carriage design to its meticulously crafted horses that seem ready to gallop into action at any moment. The elaborate decoration adorning every inch of this sleigh adds an air of regality to any occasion it graces. This print captures not only the artistic brilliance but also conveys a sense of wonderment associated with such extravagant festivities where ornamental carriages like these were paraded during lavish parties and ceremonies. The presence of these majestic animals further enhances the allure, reminding us of their vital role as farm animals and livestock while simultaneously serving as symbols of power and nobility throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured all these elements, allowing viewers to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty encapsulated within this extraordinary work of art from Fine
