Saint George Slaying the Dragon
The influence exerted by the emerging Renaissance art affected the depiction of Saint George. If the saint was usually represented as a knight in armour at the end of the 15th century, his costume took on classic Roman features in the 16th century. This is also clear to see in the ceremonial chain: around George’s waist is a classic lappet, or apron.
