1500 Altar Coats Gather Kings Shaw Tribute

EDITORS COMMENTS
Homage to Saint George: A Gathering of European Monarchs (circa 1500) This evocative image captures a significant moment in European history, as kings and rulers from across the continent convene to pay their respects to the revered Saint George. The painting, believed to date from around the year 1500, depicts a grand assembly of monarchs, each dressed in their regal finery and adorned with the insignia of their respective realms. The scene unfolds before an ornate altar, where the saint's relics are housed. Saint George, the patron saint of England, is renowned for his valor and his legendary role in defeating a dragon, making him a symbol of courage and protection. The kings, in acknowledgement of his spiritual power and earthly influence, gather to offer their tribute and seek his blessings. The painting is a testament to the political and religious significance of Saint George in Europe during the Middle Ages. The 4th and 3rd century Roman soldier-turned-saint was venerated across Europe, and his feast day, celebrated on April 23, was a time for grand processions, feasts, and displays of loyalty. The intricately detailed shawls and coats of arms of the kings and rulers add to the richness of the painting, providing a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the European courts of the time. The historical significance of this image lies not only in the gathering of European monarchs but also in the enduring legacy of Saint George as a symbol of courage, protection, and unity among the peoples of Europe.
