About the piece
Painted in 1653 by Flemish master Cornelis Schut, this large-scale oil on canvas illustrates the martyrdom of Saint George with characteristic Baroque intensity. Schut, a student of Rubens, employs masterful chiaroscuro to highlight the central figure of the saint against a crowded, tumultuous background of Roman soldiers and celestial observers.
