St. George and the Dragon:

Donatello, St. George, c. 1410-1415, marble

Donatello carved his statue of St. George for the guild of armorers and swordmakers in Florence. In Donatello’s work, St. George was carved with a confident posture.  He stands tall with his shield in front of him that looks as if could rotate on its small base which touches the ground.  This implies, at the very least, a sense of readiness on the part of the saint to quickly confront enemies coming from different directions.

The Old Stone House in Georgetown, built 1765, is one of the oldest buildings in Washington, D.C.
