The landscape is sand with little vegetation. At the other end of the lance, coming from the right at full gallop on a dark muscular war horse, was square jawed St George clad in tight fitting smooth black armour of the latest Milanese style.

She was so moved by his resolve that she too converted to Christianity. My father spent most of his life challenging an iron dragon in its fiery lair, without ever quite defeating it, until he too was devoured.

St. George is on his stallion slaying the dragon with his lance.

St. George and the Dragon is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio. There is one version that I like best.

All the major lines of the painting (the dragon’s head, the lance, the ocean, and the horse’s back legs) point straight at the glittering red and black knight who dominates the composition.

He suffered through torture, although the stories of his torture vary widely.

... Wikipedia article. Possibly because the emperor knew his father, George rose quickly through the ranks and was part of the Imperial guard by his mid 20s. The doleful maiden represented its burghers sacrifice to the dragon for the salvation of their body politic. I want to try carpaccio (I came across pictures of it when I was looking for images and it look s tasty).

He also rewrote sections of some of the SEL legends (especially of November/December saints), amplifying them with passages translated closely and rather stiffly from LA. Vittore Carpaccio was born around 1465 in either Venice or in Capodistria (a port in Istria which had been taken over by the Republic of Venice in the 14th century). The splendidly armed and armored knight is depicted at the exact moment he drives a beaked lance through the monster’s head!

10 For example, he expanded the SEL legend of St. Andrew by inserting forty-three verses summarizing two episodes from the apostle's early adventures prior to his arrival in Achaia. My father framed it in a veined wood veneer all shiny and orange brown, purpose-designed to cover our blackened brick fireplace that my parents had decided was too troublesome and smoky to maintain. The slaying of the dragon, or success as a migrant, could only happen if one was not someone else’s dragon.

Now in my child of migrants’ mind it told of the throes of migrants defying the maws of economic necessity and seeking their St George in the promised land.

The dragon is surrounded by the dreadful remains of his many victims. 11 The longest addition of this kind, however, is the dragon … St. George and the Dragon is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio.

St. George was a Roman soldier in the time of Emperor Diocletian in the late 200s CE. The painting, by the Venetian artist Vittore Carpaccio, portrayed St George attacking a horribly familiar dragon: a bat winged creature with the body and head of a dog but with a long serpent like tail that almost curled beyond a rocky fastness on the left of the painting. I won’t even bother to try to get to the bottom of it,  I’ll just hit some highlights. Saint George and the Dragon (Vittore Carpaccio, 1507 AD, tempera on panel) Vittore Carpaccio was born around 1465 in either Venice or in Capodistria (a port in Istria which had been taken over by the Republic of Venice in the 14 th century).

The theme of St George and the dragon has variously represented the victory of good against evil in all its various sauces: against the forces of nature, against the barbarian, against the Other. It says that Diocletian’s wife, Empress Alexandra, witnessed George’s torture and suffering. This dragon’s open jaws occupied the centre of the painting. I wish they would pack images with a thicker piece of cardboard to prevent them being folded or bent.

Above and behind him stood demurely, and in a pose of confident prayer, the maiden he was well on the way to saving, brown haired and draped in a flowing red cloak that covered just enough of her curvy flesh to entice both the dragon and St George. The knight is the perfect representation of the troubled world of early sixteenth century Venice (increasingly at odds with the Ottoman Empire).

It was a time and place which called for violent men of action.
Happy St. George’s Day! On February 24, 303 CE Diocletian issued an edict essentially demanding the conversion of all of his army. They were both Christians and raised George in their faith.

Resplendent on his destrier, clad in sable armor, with his blond curly hair cascading behind him he is perfectly at home in his world of religion and ultraviolence. ( Log Out /

When I was a child I always wanted to go to the Medieval section of the museum to look at knights–and I was always disappointed by all the self tormenting Saints and Jesuses (which took me a while to properly appreciate). The dragon is the representation of Diocletian himself. I find it hard to believe it was named for the artist though! Eventually, he was decapitated to finish him off.

He knew his execution was imminent, so he gave his money and possessions to the poor. Full as they were with serried ranks of long pointed teeth, they had already been violated by a fine, cruel and bloodied lance, whose tip, thrust between them, had broken through the back of the creature’s skull in a panoply of spurting blood.
