Beholding the beast within
Article Abstract:
Paulo Uccello's painting of 'St George and the Dragon' is displayed in the Sainsbury wing of the National Gallery. The legend is explained. It is thought that the picture was intended for a bedroom rather than a church, as part of a cassone, Renaissance bedroom furniture. X-ray photographs in 1959 showed an erasure altering the inclusion of a line to signify divine intervention. Uccello emphasised the loyalty between the bride-to-be and the dragon versus St George and his steed.
