About this work

The Devil, the dragon and the lower halves of St. George and his horse. The canopy over this painting made capturing the entire image problematic, so I settled for photographing what I knew would turn out fairly well.

Original catalogue wording

The Devil, the dragon and the lower halves of St. George and his horse. The canopy over this painting made capturing the entire image problematic, so I settled for photographing what I knew would turn out fairly well. If I remember correctly, St. George looked brave and serene, and his horse looked perky. Wall painting in the old Church of St. Mary of Zion, Axum, Ethiopia.
