Sam, I assume you must be familiar with the big late-medieval Spanish
altarpiece on St. George that hangs over the staircase in the Victoria and
Albert Museum . . . But if by chance you've missed it, it's really worth a
visit. My husband refers to it as "24 ways of killing St. George"--which is
an exaggeration, but not by much, as I recall. Someone has written a
fairly detailed article on this altarpiece, with pictures; I can dig out the
reference if you'd like.
