Excerpt from Saint George, 1902, Vol. 5 In the third volume of For: (letter XXVI) Mr. Ruskin gives some account of the history of St. George, who was born in Cappadocia in the third century and was put to death on the 23rd April, a.d., 29o. Emerson's account of St. George is wholly erroneous and refers to another personage. With regard to the venerable belief which Carpaccio set himself to picture in the Chapel of St. George, Mr. Ruskin in St. Mark's Rest, says: How far he knew its wide reign and ancient descent, or how far, without recognising these, he intuitively acted as the knowledge would have led him, must be to us doubtful But painting this glory, he paints with it the peace that over the King-threatened cradle of another Prince than Perseus, was proclaimed to the heavy laden. The following is an extract from Mr. Ruskin's description of the picture which he so warmly admired and so faithfully copied.
