EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th century image depicts the legendary tale of St. George and the Dragon, as illustrated in the chromolithograph "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The heroic St. George rides his horse boldly towards the fire-breathing dragon, ready to protect the princess who stands in fear at the dragon's feet. The royal family, including the king and queen, watch from a castle tower, their expressions a mix of awe and relief. The lower part of the print reveals a peaceful scene of knightly loyalty, as a sleeping knight lies amongst a flower garden, surrounded by the symbols of his family crest. The intricately detailed painting, executed in wood and leather, is preserved in a cabinet of curiosities in Sigmaringen. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously created this illustration, while Proebes skillfully lithographed it. This enchanting artwork showcases the rich history, fashion, and mythology of the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into a time long past.
