Composite Panel featuring St. George
Acquired by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913), New York, and installed in his library 1907-1909.
The present panel features two roundels: at right is an unidentified coat of arms below an armet helmet, at left is a depiction of the standing Christ child. In his left hand the child holds a banner featuring a cross, signifying his victory over the serpent underfoot, while his right hand is in the gesture of benediction. The fragments that surround these two roundels contain a large ovular fragment featuring a male head, along with two unidentified coats of arms with deer and herons. Other fragments include various faces, along with several floral and architectural motifs.
