St. George and the Dragon

This painting is called St. George and the Dragon and was painted by Raphael Sanzio. This painting shows a famous story about St. George, fighting a dragon to rescue a princess. This story was very popular during this time and was painted fairly often. This painting is a start of a new painting style where the figures of the painting are centralized and in a pyramid type shape. George also has a golden halo around his helmet showing that he was a saint for his dead. There is also a broken lance on the ground and in the dragons front showing that he has been fighting for a while and the final blow is about to come.
