We see a fresco of St George slaying the dragon. He is identified in Greek letters at the top. This is in the Greek Orthodox Church of St George in Madaba, Jordan. In the late 19th Century, Greek Orthodox citizens petitioned the Turkish authorities to resettle the biblical city of Madaba. Their petition was granted. The city is located in what's today known as Jordan. Restoration recovered buildings, mosaics, and other art from the Roman and Byzantine eras. The most famous discovery is the Sixth Century AD floor mosaic map of the Holy Land. This fresco is not ancient, but from the 19th Century restoration. Church records do not record the artist's name.
