Saint George and the Dragon

Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a small rectangular relief depicting a figure on horseback engaged in a dynamic scene. The horse is captured mid-stride, with the rider wielding a weapon or staff. To the left, there's a secondary figure standing, and a natural landscape that includes rugged cliffs and a single tree to the right. The sculpture is made from dark bronze material with a slightly aged patina. The relief is detailed, showing intricate lines and textures, and is placed within a narrow, raised border framing the art. The scene is rendered in high relief, giving it depth and dimension.
