I really like the way that St. George is blasting into the picture on his steed and slaying the dragon while his fair maiden is hoping and waiting in the background. I like how his face and the dragon’s mouth are most emphasized as the evil and good doing battle. The painting is more focused on the deed itself versus the actual killing of the dragon. I also like the way the lower right corner of the painting is faded and dark?  You eyes tend to completely forget about it if you don’t consciously concentrate hard on it.  You eyes tend to follow a path from the face of St. George to the head of the dragon, and back to the maiden to complete a triangle.  I like the balance of the dark dragon and the light on St. George, and how the harmony on good and evil is shown. There is much light vs. dark values that contrast each other in this painting.

 This painting is unusually crammed though, and the element of space is completely ignored? Every niche is occupied.  I like the shape of the dragon’s head besides the fact that emphasis is placed on the humans? They are much more detailed that the dragon.  Unfortunately the painting is not very realistic and I cannot imagine the texture at all. All in all, the magnificent work of art deserves global acclaim more than present.
