{"product_id":"saint-george-carved-wood-icon","title":"Saint George and the Dragon Icon, Carved Solid Wood","description":"\u003cp\u003eSaint George on horseback, spear driven downward into the dragon, the horse rearing over it. Behind him the walls of the city and the small figure of the rescued princess in the doorway. This is the busiest of our icons — a whole scene rather than a standing figure — and the carving is cut on several planes so the horse stands clear of the background and the dragon coils below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree sizes and two species. Cherry is the warmer of the two, reddish and close-grained, and it darkens noticeably over the years; ash is paler and open-pored, and the grain runs visibly through the horse and the folds of the cloak. Depth runs from 24 to 42 mm depending on size. At this level of detail the large panel is worth the difference: at 360 mm the city wall, the reins and the dragon’s scales all read separately, and at 200 mm they begin to merge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inscription along the lower edge can be set in the language you choose, and the back can be engraved with a dedication — a name, a date, a line of scripture. Made to order in our workshop in Romania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of two icons in the series that carry a scene rather than a portrait — the other is \u003ca href=\"\/products\/holy-trinity-rublev-carved-wood-icon\"\u003ethe Holy Trinity after Rublev\u003c\/a\u003e — which is why the small size loses more here than elsewhere. If you want a soldier saint on a standing panel, where the small size holds up, that is \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archangel-michael-carved-wood-icon\"\u003ethe Archangel Michael\u003c\/a\u003e with the spear and orb.
