Saint George and the Dragon

Attributed to Hans Klocker Austrian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

Saint George, dressed as a fashionable young knight with a green wreath crowning his loose curls, stands in a relaxed pose. He holds his lance upside down, indicating that the fight is over, and the defeated dragon is curled quietly at his feet. The gilding on the figure’s shoulders, elbows, and knees is well preserved, but the silver leaf that once covered the reddish-brown armor has tarnished and flaked away, leaving only traces.
