Saint George Slaying the Dragon — História e Análise

O momento central na lenda de São Jorge é quando ele mata o dragão com uma lança. A princesa, resgatada pela intervenção do cavaleiro, pode ser vista ao fundo. Os primeiros guardas civis na Holanda frequentemente escolhiam este santo como seu patrono.

Ele personificava sua missão como defensor da fé mais do que qualquer outro.
