Description

The epic battle between good and evil comes to life in this magnificent sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon. The artwork captures the culminating moment of the action: the knight, firmly seated in his saddle, plunges his spear into the heart of the monster, an act of courage and faith made eternal by the heroic gesture.

The horse, a symbol of purity and strength, is immortalized in a spectacular rearing pose, with tense musculature and a meticulously carved mane. The Saint's armor, embellished with finishes simulating gilded metal and garments in blue and red tones, contrasts with the dark, earthy hues of the twisted dragon and the rocky base.

This sculpture is made from a fine combination of resin and wood powder, a material selected by our masters to ensure superior resistance and impeccable sculptural definition, allowing the artists of Val Gardena to enhance the rich chromaticity of the entirely hand-painted finish. A masterpiece of dynamism and devotion for your collection.

Detail & Meaning
Saint George is the embodiment of chivalrous virtue and unwavering faith. The sculpture not only depicts a heroic feat, but powerfully symbolizes the triumph of Faith over Evil and Heresy (the dragon). The dynamic pose of the rearing horse (a symbol of purity) and the concentrated expression of the Saint express the moral strength needed to face the darkest challenges. The spear piercing the dragon is the weapon of truth and righteousness that defeats darkness.
Story
The legend of Saint George, a Christian martyr who presumably lived in the 3rd century in Cappadocia, is central to Christian iconography. The story that sees him free a princess and a city from a dragon dates back to the Middle Ages and made him the patron saint of nations and chivalric orders, embodying the ideal of the miles Christi. The art of sacred sculpture in Val Gardena, rooted in a centuries-old tradition that flourished from the 17th century, has always dedicated great attention to heroic figures such as Saint George, perpetuating the message of courage and faith through the unique skill of local carvers.
