The reason is that St. George was known as the dragon-slayer which fits with mythology. So in this vein I find a bit more history on St. George/Jordi/Jorge in this article http://barcelona.de/en/barcelona-sant-jordi.html<br /><br />“One day the princess of the country met this fate; George killed the dragon and freed her. The Princess and the entire population were converted to Christianity.”<br /><br />And a nice story at this site http://allaboutcatalonia.blogspot.ca/2009/05/sant-jordi-legend.html<br /><br />The King’s daughter was to be sacrificed to the dragon but was saved by St. George. In the statute St. George stands over the people to protect them. I think the young woman is the princess in this legend.<br />Rosemary Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291661159622665464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-82995309099942484732015-04-17T06:12:28.108-07:002015-04-17T06:12:28.108-07:00Did an image search in Google for the second pictu...Did an image search in Google for the second picture and found out it is the Palau de la Música Catalana Building in Barcelona, Spain. The image search led to an article in Wikipedia about the building. That page had some information about the sculpture which was done by Miguel Blay. The entire sculpture is supposed to represent Catalan music. To get more information about the sculpture we did a search using the terms: catalan song sculpture barcelona, which led to this article DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Barcelona & Catalonia<br />We also searched in Google books using the terms "miguel blay" "catalan song" and got the tour guide - About Barcelona: Talking City Guide which described the sculpture in more detail. This book states that the figure of a girl is to symbolize music but doesn't say who she is. The building was inspired by the Catalan choral society and was built for their performances. We tried but just couldn't find the name of the muse who inspired this sculpture. We added the terms muse OR model into our search and still came up with nothing.

She sang at the Palau de la Musica in 1908. Her father was a sculptor and so was Miguel Blay. <br /><br />Can't find proof right now and have run out of time but she sure seems the best candidate.<br /><br />jon tUjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-82710130480105302132015-04-16T08:59:10.273-07:002015-04-16T08:59:10.273-07:00Nice one.

Another book Old Providence: A Collection of Facts and Traditions Relating to Various ... had some more interesting information about the figurehead but nothing more about who the actual person was.

We uploaded picture number 1 into google images and very quickly found the result that it was the Turks Head Building in Providence Rhode Island. What is interesting that the first result we got (besides link to his challenge) was from a commercial roofing company - Weisman Roofing. They had a very long entry on their page about the building - http://www.weismanroofing.com/commercial-roofing-projects/turkshead.html Next we did a search for Turks Head building providence and got to the Wikipedia page on the building. That didn't give us to much information but had a reference to this site - http://www.emporis.com/buildings/125375/turks-head-building-providence-ri-usa This site had interesting facts about the building and gave us this information about the sculpture - The building is named for a shop sign displaying the head of a Turk, which was the figurehead of the ship "Sultan." A stylized replica carved in granite is found on the present building on the belt course between the third and fourth floors. many other sources confirmed that this was a replica of a figurehead found on the ship and was the depiction of an Ottoman warrior. We couldn't get anything more definitive than ottoman warrior. Will post for picture 2 separately.

Nevertheless fascinatin' stuff as always.<br /><br />The first is Turk's Head in Providence Rhode Island. There lots of legend and little fact it seems. However the Granite image is just the latest of a series since perhaps about 1800 which purport to be from the figurehead of the good ship Sultan. Legend suggests that the area was formerly known as Turk's Head because a person alledgedly had the Turk's HEad figurehead in his possession. <br /><br />Even by 1918 its origin was all conjecture:<br />http://archive.org/stream/oldprovidenceac00provgoog/oldprovidenceac00provgoog_djvu.txt<br /><br />No idea who the model or who carved it<br /><br />I conducted the second search (mostly) in the Catalan language including Wikipedia<br /><br />The second is a sculpture by Miquel Blay y Fàbregas on the front corner of Palau de la Música de Barcelona from 1913. (Palace of Music)<br /><br />http://stjosep.com/escola2/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/35-PALAU-DE-LA-MÚSICA-CATALANA-anàlisi-de-lobra.pdf<br />....At the confluence of the two facades stands the sculpture entitled Miquel Blay Allegory of the Catalan folksong. This work consists of two parts: for On the one hand, shows the home through female figures and children, and the other, the world of work. In the center, on a background of plant elements, we see a young woman embodies the Catalan song and who chairs the group of male figures (elderly child, farmer and sailor) and feminine (civic grandmother peasant girl). The figure of St. George crown the whole.<br /><br />No idea who the model was for the peasant girl.
