Saint George, patron saint of England, of Moscow and of Cáceres in Spain, was an early Christian martyr, who during the Middle Ages became a paragon of valour and selflessness.
Nothing of his life or deeds can be established, but legends about him as a warrior saint became popular, such as the story of his rescuing a Libyan king’s daughter from a dragon and then slaying the monster in return for the king’s subjects promising to be baptized.
Zurab Tseretelli
(1934) is a Soviet/Georgian painter, sculptor and architect known for large scale and at times controversial monuments.
Saint George is the patron saint of Moscow. Two equestrian sculptures of Saint George fighting the dragon, both by Zurab Tsereteli, can be seen there.
