Saint George is a revered Christian martyr, a soldier in the Roman army (born ~275 AD), famous for his legendary slaying of a dragon to save a princess and a town, symbolizing the victory of good over evil, and is the patron saint of England, Portugal, Georgia, and many others, with his feast day on April 23rd, known for his courage and faith, becoming a popular medieval saint with stories evolving centuries after his death. Juri Jakovenko (born 1965) is a renowned Belarusian graphic artist and engraver, internationally recognized for his technical printmaking and his fantastical, surreal imagery. Based in Grodno, Belarus, Jakovenko has established himself as a master of the etching needle, creating dense, narrative-rich compositions that often blend medieval aesthetics with modern surrealism. His work is highly prized by collectors of fine prints and Ex-Libris (bookplates) for its incredible attention to detail, mythical storytelling, and atmospheric depth. Item #32044
