Saint George and the dragon has been depicted in the coat of arms of Moscow since the late 18th century, Whatley, E. Gordon, editor, with Anne B. Thompson and Robert K. Upchurch, 2004. St. George and the Dragon in the South English Legendary (East Midland Revision, c. 1400) Originally published in Saints' Lives in Middle English Collections ( on-line text: Introduction). It is said that the price of the statue was of three hundred scudi. At that time, the parish priest at St George’s was Canon Fortunato Cutajar. Between 1415 and 1426, Donatello created five statues for the campanile of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, also known as the Duomo. These works are the Beardless Prophet; Bearded Prophet (both from 1415); the Sacrifice of Isaac (1421); Habbakuk (1423–25); and Jeremiah (1423–26); which follow the classical models for orators and are characterized by strong portrait details. From the late teens is the Pazzi Madonna relief in Berlin. In 1425, he executed the notable Crucifix for Santa Croce; this work portrays Christ in a moment of the agony, eyes and mouth partially opened, the body contracted in an ungraceful posture.The earliest image of St Theodore as a horseman (named in Latin) is from Vinica, North Macedonia and, if genuine, dates to the 6th or 7th century. Here, Theodore is not slaying a dragon, but holding a draco standard. Shearman, John. "A Drawing for Raphael's 'St. George'." The Burlington Magazine 125 no. 958 (January 1983): 15-25, fig. 23, 24.

William Shakespeare refers to Saint George and the Dragon in Richard III ( Advance our standards, set upon our foes Our ancient world of courage fair St. George Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons act V, sc. 3), Henry V ( The game's afoot: follow your spirit, and upon this charge cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' act III, sc. 1), and also in King Lear (act I). One can speculate that it could be a lance in between the fingers. One can spot leather thongs around Saint George's shoulders and knees. This type of clothing could be analysed to pay homage to Rome. The Reception Fernando Carrera, a spokesperson for ACRE, tells AFP the St. George sculpture’s pastel makeover is just “the tip of the iceberg of so many cases that don’t appear in the press.” Indeed, it’s worth noting that the story was just one of several botched restoration attempts to come to light last year: In September, for example, a local shopkeeper painted a trio of 15th-century religious figures in bright shades of fuchsia, turquoise and magenta, leading ACRE to once more denounce “this continued plunder in our country.” St. George stands brandishing a mighty shield and is seemingly aware of danger coming from every direction.

However, before the thread could turn into disaster for the Florentines,
The reason for such a stance has been linked to political events surrounding Florence during the years leading up to the statue's creation. In 1410 a new threat emerged from the MacDermott, Mercia (1998). Bulgarian Folk Customs. Jessica Kingsley Publishers. pp.64–66. ISBN 978-1-8530-2485-6. Donatello completed his famous Saint George for the Confraternity of the Cuirass-makers in 1417 and it would mark an important step in the journey of liberating It seems that the marching of the statue in the annual procession on the saint’s feastday did not satisfy the people’s love for their protector saint; they wanted to invoke his protection even in their most dire needs.Further reflections from both an anthropological and artistic perspective were written by Mgr Dr Joseph Farrugia and Charles Cassar respectively, and both articles are worthy of note.
