Hl. Georg im Kampf mit dem Drachen

A young knight in dark armor raises a sword above his head while his white stallion rears over a winged dragon. The dragon's breast is already pierced by a fragment of a lance, and the rest of the striped weapon lies shattered on the earth. In the distance, a small female figure flees toward a rocky hill under a soft, atmospheric sky.

This image serves as a Renaissance allegory for the Neoplatonic struggle of the rational soul against base, animalistic nature. The dragon-slayer motif was later widely adopted in alchemical traditions to symbolize the 'fixing' or purification of the volatile materia prima through spiritual or chemical labor.
