Hidden Painting of the Church of Saint George Maggiore, discovered during restoration, at the end of 2022 during the holidays, the canvas hidden in the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, one of the first four churches built in Naples which represents a peculiar testimony of paleochristian art. There are two paintings here, both are from 16th Century AD, both paintings are behind the alter, one is "Life of San Severo" hidden one is "St. George and the Dragon" (mural) it's in Naples, Italy.
Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, a street traced by the footprint of the art, and explore the ancient Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, named after the warrior martyr. This saint is one of the most impressive Christian figures, which links to the imaginative myth of the Dragon; an emblem of the infinite struggle between good and evil.
The basilica was built by the will of Bishop Saverio of Naples between the end of 4th and the beginning of the 5th Century AD. Behind the main altar wrapped in a semicircle of white columns, you can admire two masterpieces of Neapolitan painting of the 16th Century. The two majestic canvases which are harmoniously arranged facing each other were painted by Alessio D’Elia. The canvas on the left side represents the “life of San Severo” while the one on the right side depicts the battle of "St. George and the Dragon."
It is just behind the second one that lurks the surprising painting depicting the same subject. A sturdy chassis with hinges on which D'Elia's canvas is situated, moves through a rope like a massive book that opens and reveals the magnificent painting behind.
The hidden fresco which is still intact today, has been brought to light by a recent restoration. Its colours are still brilliant. Aniello Falcone realized it around 1645 AD and its artistic value astonishes. The work has an intense emotional charge and a striking impact. It brings the spectator back to the fairy-tale atmospheres of the medieval myth. Anyway, why was it hidden for all this time?
The protagonist of the scene is the white horse that is driven by the hardened warrior San Giorgio, who pierces the monstrous creature with a sharp lance pointing straight at its mouth. The dragon seems like an extraordinary beast of fighting the warrior. Below its feet, pure fantasy we can see its meal: young innocents reduced to carcasses. In the background, a woman flees in fear. Killing the dragon, San Giorgio saves the king's young daughter, who was about to be sacrificed to the immoderate creature and he frees the Libyan population of Selem from his lashes.
