In this richly symbolic and dramatic scene, Gustave Moreau presents Saint George in a moment of divine triumph as he slays the dragon. Clad in ornate armor and mounted on a majestic white steed, the saint pierces the beast with a glowing red lance, while a golden halo affirms his sanctity. A princess watches prayerfully from a cliff, her elaborate robe adding to the mythical atmosphere. Moreau’s romantic and Symbolist style is evident in the lush detail, fantastical textures, and ethereal color palette, drawing the viewer into a narrative of faith, heroism, and redemption.
