- ITALIAN SCHOOL: ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
ITALIAN SCHOOL: ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON WITH TWO ANGELS AND DEMONSOil on board.
33 1/2 x 25 1/2 in.
Note: Unlike what is referred to as the ‘concise’ composition, which shows only George and the dragon, this panel painting is referred to as a ‘detailed’ form. The detailed form usually includes the image of the princess, the village and spectators watching the event. In this version the saint is shown with angel wings in the manner of Saint Michael, and shown on his feet rather than on horseback which also indicates the figure of Michael rather than George. The most common representation of Saint Michael is as a knight in armor, armed with a spear and slaying a dragon figure that symbolizes Satan. Saint Michael is the supreme archangel and is the defender of the Church, having defeated Satan during the war of angles at the time of Revelation. So while the image here has been ascribed to Saint George, it is very likely that it is, in fact, Saint Michael slaying Satan rather than Saint George slaying the Dragon.

EUGÈNE EMMANUEL VIOLLET-LE-DUC (1814-79) AND FATHER ARTHUR MARTIN (1802-1856) FOR POUSSIELGUE-RUSAND (1824–89)
PAIR OF FIVE-LIGHT CANDELABRA, CIRCA 1860 cast and gilt bronze(2)39.5cm wide, 64.5cm high, 18cm deepProvenance: Private collection, Belgium, until November 2022Paul ShutlerLiterature: Barker M. 'An appraisal of Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879) and his influence' Decorative Art Society Journal No. 16, 1992Note: Viollet-le-Duc, his business partner Jean-Baptiste Lassus (1807-1857) and Father Arthur Martin all supplied designs to Notre Dame during its 25-year post-revolution restoration from 1845. The design of the lower portion of these candelabra was initially found in a set of six ormolu pricket candlesticks made by Poussielgue-Rusand for Notre-Dame in 1862. Viollet-le-Duc's drawing for these is in the Heritage and Media Photographic Library at Cherenton-le-Pont, Paris. A set of six of the original pricket candlesticks designs was also used in the chapel of Saint Michael, Saint Raphael & Saint Gabriel at the Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans, France. The pricket design was also exhibited by Poussielgue-Rusand at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle.The upper section of candle arms was designed by Father Arthur Martin, and it featured in Poussielgue-Rusand’s catalogues from 1853, initially as a wall-mounted candle arm. Father Arthur Martin was a talented draughtsman and collector of medieval art and materials. In the 1840s he and his fellow Jesuit Brother Charles Cahier (1807-1882) began interpreting and classifying the collection. Their work was then published by Placide Poussielgue-Rusand from 1847 onwards in the highly influential multi-volume publication on medieval art entitled 'Mélanges d’archéologie, d’histoire, et de littérature'.The upper portion of the candelabra can also be compared to the grilles designed by Viollet-le-Duc in 1865 for the Basilica of Saint-Denis, among other places. An engraving of these was published in the Gazette des Architectes et du Batiment, Vol. 3 1865 No. 9, p. 133.A pair of Viollet-le-Duc’s pricket-design candlesticks in lacquered bronze is in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago and an elaborate casket designed by Father Martin is in the collection of Notre Dame.Viollet-le-Duc's writings on decoration and on the relationship between form and function in architecture had a fundamental influence on a whole new generation of architects, including all the major Art Nouveau artists. His writings also influenced John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, and William Burges admitted in his late life "We all cribbed on Viollet-le-Duc even though no one could read French."
