Original Description
Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Saint George and the Princess Sabra (1862) exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's fascination with medieval romance and luminous clarity. The painting depicts the legendary dragon-slayer kneeling before the rescued princess, their figures bathed in Rossetti's signature jewel-toned palette of crimson, emerald, and gold. The composition throbs with symbolic intensity – George's discarded armor glows like a celestial halo, while Sabra's embroidered gown (inspired by 15th-century Flemish tapestries) weaves botanical motifs that echo Rossetti's later floral obsessions. Though less famous than Proserpine or Beata Beatrix, this work marked Rossetti's pivotal shift toward stylized elongation and flattened space, influencing the Aesthetic Movement. The uncanny stillness between the figures – neither fully chivalric nor yet Rossetti's trademark erotic mysticism – creates a hypnotic tension unique in his oeuvre.
For interior settings, this painting's rich narrative invites placement in contemplative spaces: a wood-paneled study with Gothic-revival furniture or an executive office with deep green velvet accents would amplify its medieval gravitas. Opt for a substantial frame (ideally 3-4" gilt-edged) to honor its Pre-Raphaelite origins, balancing walls with muted olive or burnt sienna tones to prevent color competition. At its original 31 x 27" dimensions, it commands attention as a focal point above a Chesterfield sofa or carved mantel – avoid clustering with other artworks to let its intricate details breathe. For modern settings, echo the palette through terracotta ceramics or damask textiles, using directional LED lighting to recreate the luminosity of Rossetti's layered glazing technique. Its vertical format suits high-ceilinged rooms, where the downward gaze of the figures creates an intimate viewing dynamic at eye level.
