Atelier Prof

Saint George and the Dragon – majolica, Ateliers Prof. Eugenio Pattarino, Florence – mid-20th century. Professionally shipped – more than 1,000 five-star reviews worldwide. Impressive majolica sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon, made in the workshops of Prof. Eugenio Pattarino in Florence. The scene depicts the heroic moment when Saint George, seated on a rearing horse and dressed in richly decorated armor, pierces the dragon with his lance. The fiery dragon, with its scaly skin and open jaws, contrasts sharply with the calm, determined gaze of the saintly knight. The composition exudes Baroque drama and demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship, with finely rendered details, vivid glazes, and gold accents. Pattarino (1885–1971) was a renowned Italian ceramic artist, active in Florence, Venice, and Frankfurt, known for his expressive religious majolica sculptures. His workshop was severely affected by the 1966 flood, in which many of his molds and designs were lost. Height: 44 cm. In good condition, with a small chip on the cloak and a small repair to the horse’s mane. Please examine the photos carefully; they form part of the description. Shipped with tracking, professionally and securely packaged.
