2/6: an art historical moment

We're discussing various illustrations for Hawthorne's Wonder Book in my mythology & children's literature class tomorrow, and it's been fun to pull together some images to talk about. Rackham and Crane's pictures of Bellerophon and Pegasus defeating the Chimaera seem to echo traditional depictions of Saint George and Saint Michael. I enjoyed looking online for Renaissance Georges and Michaels to show the students for comparison and contrast.
