Description
St. George and the dragon. St. George slays the dragon as the princess, daughter to the king of Lybia (various traditions place them in different locales), watches from the distance. The dragon represents evil in general or specifically paganism. The princess personifies the heathen country, soon to be converted by George's victory. St. George was one of the more popular saints in medieval times and frequently appears in religious art.
