If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Flemish painter of the 17th centuryPortrait of a knight dressed as Saint George Oil on wooden panel(stabilized with parquet on the back) 24 x 18 cm. - In a fine 44 x 38 cm frame. A charming leader in his armour, immortalised in an authoritative and proud attitude, is the subject of our valuable portrait, of good quality and made by an artist of the Flemish school of the seventeenth century. What makes the painting, executed in oil on an oak panel, suggestive and interesting is the fact that our subject is immortalised as the personification of Saint George, a noble knight of the Christian faith, made famous thanks to a legend that arose during the Crusades and for his victory over a fearsome Dragon. This feat, rich in symbolic meanings in the struggle between Good and Evil, made it a favourite subject in art, especially from the Renaissance onwards, as it allowed the staging of both chivalric and religious ideals and values. Hence the choice to associate the portrait with that of this figure which therefore allows the knight to show himself with an attitude of physical prowess and moral firmness. He is depicted dressed in shining armour and a crested helmet, while his iridescent red cloak appears billowing in the wind, enhancing the dynamism of the figure. At his feet is the great beast, which seems already tamed by his spear, and also the castle with its high walls which, according to legend, were built to protect the terrified inhabitants. Very good condition of conservation, restorations and repainting.
