About The Artwork
taken from Culture Trip... The Legend: Did St George really kill a dragon? The religious crusades that plagued the 11th and 13th centuries brought about a resurgence of popularity for the saint. St George’s martyrdom and military service made him an appealing figure to invoke for protection and guidance. As such, the red-on-white cross that crusaders – most notably the Knights of Templar – wore is also known as St George’s cross. At some point around the 11th century, this revival of St George also resulted in the legend he is most famously associated with. According to folklore, St George rescued a princess who was about to become dinner for a dragon that had settled near the city of Silene – allegedly in modern-day Libya. As luck would have it, St George was passing through and saved the princess by beheading the dragon. His bravery is said to have inspired people in Silene to convert to Christianity. A great story, but more fantasy than reality. A tale of a noble Christian soldier coming to the rescue of a princess fit perfectly with Medieval notions of chivalry and courtly love – ideas that became the driving ethos behind Western Christianity’s notions of civility and social order. These ideas were also popularised by the legends of King Arthur and his knights and tempted a pious King Edward III to create his own Arthurian court. It’s no surprise that in 1344 when Edward III created his own chivalrous knightly order, the Order of the Garter, St George was named as their patron saint. It remains the most prestigious British order of chivalry today.

O.K.,good enough ANGELA RUTH D'AGOSTINO Artist's Statement PLEASE ENJOY WHAT I HAVE TO SHARE. or buy a piece if you wish.My dad was a barber. My mom was a florist. So, boom... I was born surrounded by creative spirits. I had a proclivity for the arts as an indication that my life work would evolve as an artist very early on. During high school and college I landed jobs in the commercial graphic arts field. I did advertising using many manual tools of the trade like paste up and lay out, photo retouching, stat camera, IBM composer, pen and ink drawing and illustration. My work then was diversified and fast paced for the corporate world. I was a young artist, and an extension of management. Alas, I moved into fine art. The majority of my work now is focused on painting. My paintings are seen, shared, purchased and collected worldwide. You can find me on Saatchionline.com, Behance.net, ello.co in addition to other various sites and places. I like to share my work with people who are unafraid to show and display a certain point of view. I am offering a bold and strong type of artwork. My original work always revolves around trying to understand the human condition in some way. I can trust folks to add their own opinions, comments and life lessons to the viewing experience. My art is super personalized and uncommon . Most pieces are hardwired to start a conversation, and human connection. That is what , if fortunately composed, my art does. I support the conversation. My paintings usually have a capturing and asteatotic voice. Please enjoy the 2023 new work. You will not be disappointed when you purchase one or more from this diverse mix. They are guaranteed to add interest to your interior walls. If you are finding it difficult to toe the line or just impossible to go along to get along? then let it be known, you are my collectors. As you view this work It is my warmest wish that you are curiously inspired to find your own path to this party we call life. Bring along some art. - Angela Ruth Dagostino, artist- ===============and, also====================
