Fresco of St.George, a photo from Serbia, North

Photographer's Note

Sveti Georgije ubija aždaju (pravoslavne ikone)

Po hrišćanskom predanju, Sveti velikomučenik Georgije (takođe Sveti Đorđe) bio je rimski vojnik poreklom iz Male Azije a kasnije. Sveti Georgije je jedan od svetaca koji se najviše slave u pravoslavnoj crkvi, međutim, takođe se slavi i u katoličkim zemljama. Ovekovečen u priči gde ubija aždaju, slavi se u Kanadi, Kataloniji, Engleskoj, Etiopiji, Gruziji, Grčkoj, Crnoj Gori, Portugalu, Srbiji, kao i u gradovima Istanbulu, Ljubljani i Moskvi. Takođe je svetac zaštitnik velikom broju profesija, organizacija i bolesnika.
Majstor koji je živopisao hram, akademski slikar Dragomir Jašović.
U našoj crkvi ostavio i svoj autoportret - u vidu medaljona na grudima svetog Đorđa,kome je hram i posvećen.

St George killing a dragon (Orthodox icons)

According to Christian tradition, the Holy Great Martyr Georgije (also St George ) was a Roman soldier originally from Asia Minor and later. St George is one of the saints who are the most celebrated in the Orthodox Church, however, is also being celebrated in Catholic countries. Immortalized in the story where it kills a dragon , is celebrated in Canada, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, as well as the cities of Istanbul, Ljubljana and Moscow. It is also the patron saint of a number of professions, organizations and patients.
Master who painted the temple, painter Dragomir Jasović.
We left the church and his self-portrait - in the form of a medallion on the chest of St. George, to whom the temple is dedicated.

maria-v1981 (10403) 2012-10-22 13:15

Hello Sasha,
Excellent quality for this fresco, with its icone like style of painting. The colors are bright and the sharpness very good. It is always interesting to see how that style of painting which must trace back to the Byzantinian style has managed to survive so long.
Have a nice evening,
Regards,
Maria

Zdravo dear Sasa

I love these old orthodox frescoes, they are beautifully coloured and designed. Your photo is excellent with good composition and sharpness. It seems a little dark on my monitor, but my monitor is playing up with brightness and contrast at the moment. I did not know that St george was also one of your saints, as you know he is the patron saint of England.

Hugs
Lisa

Hi Sasha,
Lively paint that depicting a Saint as a rider and fighting with a monster, distinct indoor photo to show the colourful mural, informative note to introduce a famous priest, interesting composition, thanks for sharing.

mjw364 (3706) 2012-10-24 5:56

Hello Sasha

Great image of St George. The irony is that in the UK many of those on the far right who use St Georges cross as a symbol of their Englishness are not even aware of the fact that he was not in fact from this country! Great note.

Lovely fresco of St George killing the dragon ! The saint and the horse are formidable, but the dragon is rather small :-) However, your management of sharpness, colour and lighting is excellent.
TFS and kindest regards.

Hi Sasha

Thanks for your excellent note. Although I do know of St George, and the tradition of the dragon, I had no idea he was so celebrated in so many places. This is a beautiful iconic image too, and very different from what I am used to seeing, particularly of the dragon himself. Great POV to show this off, and great light.
All the best
Noel
