Description An account of the resource <p>St George&rsquo;s Anglican Chapel is the chapel of St George&rsquo;s College, a residential college for students attending The University of Western Australia in Perth. The foundation stone of the chapel was laid in 1928 by Archbishop Riley, and the chapel was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs. Unusually, the red brick chapel is built north-south rather than east-west like most churches. St George&rsquo;s Chapel is built in the Gothic Revival style. It features stained glass windows at the north and south ends. The large west window above the entrance includes five lancet windows and the three central windows are devoted to medieval Anglo-Saxon saints of England: St Aiden of Lindisfarne (d. 651) who undertook missionary work in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and established the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne; St Augustine (d. 604), the first Archbishop of Canterbury who led the mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons sent by Pope Gregory the Great; and St Boniface (d. 754), an Anglo-Saxon missionary who worked in Germany and Frisia. The east window includes St George wearing armour and carrying a sword to the right of Jesus in the centre (St Paul also carries a sword and is on Jesus&rsquo; left).</p> <p>For the exterior of the chapel see <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1019" target="_self">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1019</a></p> <p>For St George&rsquo;s College see <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/83" target="_self">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/83</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lynch, Andrew Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource August 17, 2012 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright Relation A related resource <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1019" target="_self">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1019</a></span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/83" target="_self">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/83</a></span></span></p> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 2xDigital Photograph Anglican Anglo-Saxon Archbishop Riley Armour Gothic Gothic Revival lancet window missionary Perth pointed arch St Aiden St Augustine St Boniface St George St George’s Chapel St George’s College stained glass sword Talbot Hobbs tracery University of Western Australia WA Western Australia. https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/2dc210654329591c43576abcf042057c.jpg b829fab2c70a29b4ab4a21849ef3b55a Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

The altar features a hand-carved knight and dragon against a St George shield to portray the St George legend. It was carved by Robin McArthur and installed in the Cathedral in 1991. The addition of this new altar at the head of the nave enabled the Eucharist service to be conducted closer to, and facing, the laity. Continuing the traditional associations of Christianity with military service that are present throughout the Cathedral, the image of St George as an armoured knight has the effect of, as Andrew Lynch has suggested, conflating piety and prowess in a positive way.</p> <p>The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais&rsquo; Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine&rsquo;s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the image features the knight and dragon in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale.

The statue is the work of Viennese-born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. It was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of £1000 following the Centennial International Exhibition in 1888, and was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889. With the exception of some repositioning to accommodate Frémiet’s Jeanne d’Arc statue in 1907, this is where it still stands. The Boehm statue depicts St George, sitting astride his horse wearing a cape and a helmet bearing the distinctive St George cross, in the action of inflicting the dragon’s deathblow by means of a large spear. The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most early Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the statue features the knight and dragon fused in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale.
