Description

Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend. In it, a dragon lived in a lake near Silena, Libya. Whole armies had gone up against this fierce creature, and had gone down in painful defeat. The monster ate two sheep each day; when mutton was scarce, lots were drawn in local villages, and maidens were substituted for sheep. Into this country came Saint George. Hearing the story on a day when a princess was to be eaten, he crossed himself, rode to battle against the serpent, and killed it with a single blow with his lance. George then held forth with a magnificent sermon, and converted the locals. Given a large reward by the king,George distributed it to the poor, then rode away.

El punto de vista y la iluminaci son magnicos. El detalle del fondo usando una imagen de la misma leyenda de San Jorge estmuy bien pensada. Las posturas del personaje y los animales est muy bien. La textura del caballo es quiz la ica que no parece muy real. Por lo dem, es un trabajo excelente.
