Saint George on horseback

Unknown artist

The woodcut shows Saint George fighting the dragon. On a shore, the equipped emergency helper rides the attack against the already lying on the ground. The unbridled horse in the gala jump turns Georg with the sword in his hand to the last blow. His lance, which he still holds in his left hand, has broken into the mouth of the dragon during the stabbing and sprouts his throat. Although the dynamic combat scene takes the picture almost completely, a narrow view gives the view of a water body with three oars and a settlement behind it. Below, on the left, a monogram is integrated into the representation, behind which researchers of the 19th century suspected both the Nuremberg artist Heinrich Lautensack and Hans Uner (cf. Heller Monogrammen-Lexicon 1831.179-180 and Nagler Künstler-Lexicon VII.347-348).
