19TH C. RUSSIAN STONE RELIEF -
19TH C. RUSSIAN STONE RELIEF - ST. GEORGE & THE DRAGONEastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. An exceptional stone panel depicting a dramatic scene: Saint George on horseback piercing the dragon with his spear. The rearing stallion tramples the dragon as our hero's cross-tipped weapon diagonally divides the composition, placing the Christian symbol in theupper right corner, diametrically opposed from the scaly beast. The legend of "Saint George and the Dragon," which originated in the 12th century CE, has immortalized the saint. According to tradition, St. George came to Silene in the province of Libya, where a ravaging dragon demanded daily sacrifice. Fate chose the king's daughter, Elisaba, but George subdued the beast. He told the princess to fasten her sash about the dragon's neck so it could be led through the town for conversion of the people before it was killed. Size: 17.7" W x 25.2" H (45 cm x 64 cm)
Saint George was born in Lydda, Palestine during the 3rd century CE. He became an officer in the Roman army in guard for Emperor Diocletian, demonstrating impressive skill in battle and receiving high honors for his courage. When he learned that Diocletian was preparing to persecute Christians, George presented himself publicly before the emperor and denounced him.

20TH C. RUSSIAN ICON W/ ST. GEORGE,
20TH C. RUSSIAN ICON W/ ST. GEORGE, PRINCESS, & DRAGONEastern Europe, Russia, ca. early 20th century CE. Finely delineated in egg tempera and gesso on wood, a beautiful icon depicting Saint George atop a white horse as he plunges his lance into the winged dragon below. The Princess Elisaba sits just behind him, also mounting the noble steed; note how she is depicted in a much smaller scale than our hero in order to emphasize George as the main character of this legendary narrative. The crust of the earth appears to open below them, while a pair of large mountains rises in the background, highlighted by the shimmery copper hue of the sky. Crowned with a halo, the saint gazes downward at the defeated beast, displaying a naturalistic visage and curly coiffure as his lengthy, red cape blows behind him in the wind. The saint's name is inscribed in Cyrillic at the top of the piece. Size: 9.6" W x 11.7" H (24.4 cm x 29.7 cm)

20TH C. RUSSIAN ICON OF SAINT
20TH C. RUSSIAN ICON OF SAINT GEORGE W/ SWORD & BOWEastern Europe, Russia, ca. early 20th century CE. An impressive icon of Saint George of Lydda seated on a throne, expertly painted with egg tempera and gesso on wood. The youthful saint gazes outwards from deep-set eyes as he sits upon a lavish throne, wearing elaborate armor and a lengthy crimson cape. Adorned in hues of blue, green, yellow, black, beige, peach, and brown, he holds a sword in his right hand, while his left arm carries a bow. Remains of Cyrillic text are seen near the top of the image, serving to identify the noble figure. Size: 9.6" W x 12.9" H (24.4 cm x 32.8 cm)
Saint George was born in Lydda, Palestine during the 3rd century. He became an officer in the Roman army in guard for Emperor Diocletian, demonstrating impressive skill in battle and receiving high honor for his courage. When he learned that Diocletian was preparing to persecute Christians, George presented himself publicly before the emperor and denounced him. The legend of "Saint George and the Dragon," which originated in the 12th century, has immortalized the saint. However, this anecdote is rarely presented in iconography. According to tradition, St. George came to Silene in the province of Libya, where a ravaging dragon demanded daily sacrifice. Fate chose the king's daughter, Elisaba, but George subdued the beast. He told the princess to fasten her sash about the dragon's neck so it could be led through the town for conversion of the people before it was killed.
This icon most likely was kept in someone's home. According to Jeanne Marie Warzeski, scholar and curator of the North Carolina Museum of History's "Windows into Heaven" exhibition, "In the early Byzantine Empire, the home became the primary base for the development of icon veneration. Throughout the ensuing centuries, icons continued to receive honor in homes and churches. To this day, many Orthodox Christians create for prayer and meditation in their home a krasny ugol, or 'beautiful corner,' where family icons are placed. Guests entering a house customarily honor the icons in the corner by crossing themselves before the objects. An oil lamp is set near the icons and is lit daily, according to Orthodox tradition."
Icons (icon means "image" in Greek) are sacred objects within the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. Found in homes as well as churches, these painted images depict holy persons and saints as well as illustrate scenes from the Scriptures. Icons are not worshiped but are instead venerated for their ability to focus the power of an individual's prayer to God. As a focus for prayers and meditation for believers, icons serve as "windows into heaven."
