EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from the 1598 edition of Edmund Spenser's epic poem, The Faerie Queene, depicts the legendary St George (dc303), known as the Red Cross Knight, valiantly slaying a fearsome dragon. The scene is rich with symbolism and historical significance. In this artwork, we witness a powerful moment where St George embodies courage and chivalry as he confronts evil in the form of a menacing dragon. His heroic act resonates across time and space, making him not only the patron saint of England but also Catalonia, Genoa, Greece, Portugal, Russia, Venice, and soldiers worldwide. Interestingly enough, there seems to be an additional narrative element subtly incorporated into this image. A Roman centurion lies beheaded nearby in what appears to be modern-day Tel Aviv. This detail alludes to St George's martyrdom under Roman persecution for his Christian faith. The woodcut itself showcases intricate details that bring Spenser's literary masterpiece to life visually. It serves as a testament to both literature and artistry during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling through visual mediums. It captures our imagination while honoring British heritage and religious devotion associated with St George.
