Saint George and the Dragon in Storkyrkan, Medieval wooden sculpture in Storkyrkan Cathedral, Stockholm, Sweden
The wooden sculpture depicts Saint George mounted on a horse, confronting a dragon while a princess stands nearby in an intricate composition.
German artist Bernt Notke created this masterful work in 1489, during a period when religious art flourished throughout Northern European churches.
The sculpture represents the medieval Christian narrative of Saint George defeating evil, a theme that resonated deeply with Swedish society.
Visitors can examine the four-meter-tall sculpture inside Storkyrkan Cathedral, located in Stockholm's Old Town district.
The wooden structure remains hollow to prevent cracking, demonstrating advanced medieval crafting techniques that preserved it through centuries.
