1506
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Saint George Standing is a 1506 by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a man standing in armor, holding a sword in his right hand and a flag in his left. He is surrounded by two cherubs, one playing a harp and the other holding a book. In the background, there is a landscape with a castle and a flag bearing a cross. The man's armor is intricately detailed, with a decorative border around his helmet. The cherubs are depicted in a playful manner, adding a sense of whimsy to the scene. The background landscape is rendered in a more subdued tone, with the castle and flag serving as a subtle backdrop to the main figure. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Lucas Cranach (German, 1472–1553).
Lucas Cranach the Elder was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving.
