Mary with Child, and St. George (15th-16th century)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is an important Ethiopian Orthodox icon that was once owned by a parsonage. On the proper right panel it depicts the gruesome scene of St. George being chopped into pieces below the twelve apostles and the saint himself killing a dragon. The proper left panel features the Virgin Mary and child with an angel above each shoulder. It has been suggested that this diptych is strongly influenced by, or directly copied from, a triptych by Nicolo Brancaleon, an Italian Renaissance painter. However, the chopping tool used here is particularly Ethiopian, as is the depiction of the Virgin and Child, lacking among known Brancaleon works.
