St. George and the Dragon

by UCCELLO, Paolo, Oil on canvas, 57 x 73 cm

The majority of art historians attribute to Paolo Uccello the two small paintings of St George and the Dragon (National Gallery, London and Mus�e Jacquemart-Andr�, Paris). They confirm Paolo’s talent in small-scale works and his ability as a lively and imaginative storyteller. In both cases, the foreshortening effects and the perspective models play a fundamental role; the graceful and elegant characters, the unreal lighting, and the careful description of all details are still very much like late Gothic narrative styles.
