Saint George and the Dragon - St. Görans Church - Mariehamn, Aland Islands - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Relief of Saint George and the dragon on St. Göran's Church. It is located above the entrance door.

In addition to being a relief sculpture, there are also colors.
On the gray background, both the horse and Saint George are in various shades of brown. The dragon is grey-blue. Behind Saint George is a yellowish halo which can also look like a moon.

The relief is probably original and has been on the church since it was opened on 11 November 1927. In the church, the ceiling is ornamentally decorated, and the glass mosaics depict saints and apostles. These are made by the artist Bruno Tuukkanen. The relief of Saint George and the dragon is the same style so presumably he is also the artist behind this.

The brick church was designed by Lars Sonck.
