St George
by ALTDORFER, Albrecht, Woodcut, 197 x 152 mm
Like in his paintings, the unity of figure and landscape can also be seen in Altdorfer’s woodcuts. Even though the figure of St George thrusts a long lance into the dragon’s mouth across the main foreground, he still does not stand out from the mountainous setting. The plumes of his helmet meld into the foliage.
