“St. George and the Dragon”

"St. George and the Dragon" is a marble relief by Michel Colombe, and dates back to 1508–09. It is currently found in the Louvre, Paris. So how can we be sure Dragons didn't exist? Pictures of them can be found in almost every country and many date back to a time when travel was treacherous and undertaken by on a few.

In fact, according to the Encyclopaedia Britanica, in the Baltic religion, Kalvis was a smithy, but he also seems to have been a dragon killer, a function in which he was superseded by the Christian St. George.I guest this was accomplished in between his early morning duty of hammering out a new sun Aušrinė (Latvian Auseklis), the dawn, and a silver belt and golden stirrups for Dievo sūneliai (Latvian Dieva dēli), the morning and evening stars. Regardless, he was noted for his dragon slaying skills long before St. George and long, long before Colombe decided to depict St. George slaying his dragon.
