EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic masterpiece "Saint George and the Dragon" painted by Raphael around 1505. Housed in the prestigious Mellon Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this painting is a testament to both religious devotion and artistic brilliance. Raphael's skillful brushstrokes bring to life the dramatic scene of Saint George engaged in a fierce battle with a menacing dragon. This Renaissance artwork beautifully captures the concept of good versus evil, as well as symbolizing Christianity's victory over sin and darkness. The vibrant colors used by Raphael add depth and intensity to this mythical encounter. The knightly figure of Saint George, adorned in armor and armed with his lance, stands tall as he fearlessly confronts the formidable beast before him. This portrayal not only celebrates bravery but also highlights Saint George's role as a patron saint for warriors. As we gaze upon this oil painting from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where mythological creatures roamed imaginations and battles were fought on both physical and spiritual planes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, faith can lead us towards triumph. The publication "Masterpieces of Painting" edited by Huntington Cairns and John Walker in 1944, immortalizes this remarkable artwork for generations to come. Its inclusion within such esteemed literature further solidifies its significance within art history. This print allows us to appreciate Raphael's genius while honoring Andrew W Mellon's contribution to preserving cultural treasures like these at the National Gallery of Art.
