This piece is from the "Details of Renaissance Paintings (Paolo Uccello, St. George and the Dragon)" suite. The suite contains four works of different color on Arches Aquarelle (Cold Pressed) paper.
Saint George and The Dragon is a painting by Paolo Uccello dating from around 1470. It is on display in the National Gallery, London, United Kingdom. It was formerly housed in the Palais Lanckoronski in Vienna, belonging to Count Lanckoroński and sold by his son and heir Anton in 1959 through Mr Farago. The first mention of it being there is 1898.
Gothicizing tendencies in Paolo Uccello's art are nowhere more apparent than in this painting. It shows a scene from the famous story of Saint George and the dragon. Paolo Uccello's depiction of Saint George a damsel in distress, or persecuted maiden, is a classic theme in world literature, art, and film.
