Knock, knock Who’s there? It’s me, your girlfriend had a really nice meeting with my dick.
Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is St George slaying the dragon, from the same Italian book of hours we looked at yesterday. I still can’t believe how much gold leaf was used in this book. The patrons must have had a phenomenal amount of money to spend on something this lavish.
I think this image is hilarious. St George’s faithful charger looks far more like a wooden horse from a carousel than a battle hardened stallion. St George himself looks like a child, and don’t get me started on the dragon!
I love it, but to my twenty-first century eyes, it looks completely ridiculous!
