Saint George

This is a copy of an original marble statue by Donatello depicting Saint George. The original marble is one of fourteen sculptures commissioned by the guilds of Florence to decorate the external niches of the Orsanmichele church. St. George was commissioned by the guild of the armorers and sword makers, the Arte dei Corazzai e Spadai.

A stone trown at the sculpture in 1858 broke its nose, and in 1892 Donatello’s work was moved to the Bargello Museum in Florence. The original sculpture was stolen from the Villa Medici in Poggio a Caiano, but in May 1945 it was recovered by Frederick Hart in Neumelans and returned to Italy on 20th July 1945. The box base was added back onto the statue in 1976.
