Sculpture Of Saint George And The Dragon - 17th Century
In carved wood in the round, our Saint George in armor has a black and gold patina.
On his rearing horse, Saint George, with his lance, defeats the dragon. By defeating it, he brings the beast back to the ground but does not kill it. To the dragon the earthly mastered where is his place. Beautiful allegory of the fight that everyone must wage to combat their weaknesses and dominate their passions, without destroying who they are. The search for balance for everyone and for Humanity.
The crowned Virgin kneels on a rock at the back of the scene. She accompanies Saint George with her prayers.
The whole, old, is fixed on a terrace placed on four claw feet and decorated with egg stripes and darts.
A Spanish work from the 17th century Good overall condition, rear lance and tiny accidents)
A piece appraised by Mr. Benoit Bertrand.
