{"product_id":"saint-george-and-the-dragon-luca-signorelli","title":"Saint George and the Dragon - Luca Signorelli","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dynamic Renaissance depiction of Saint George battling a dragon, noted for its anatomical precision and dramatic narrative composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuca Signorelli, a master of the Italian Renaissance, presents a dynamic interpretation of the legend of Saint George. The composition centres on the knight, depicted from behind, as he engages the dragon. His muscular form and the anatomical precision of the figures scattered across the foreground reflect the artist's preoccupation with the human body in motion. Signorelli was known for his ability to render complex physical tension, a skill he applied here to both the hero and the fallen figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene unfolds within a constructed environment that balances natural elements with architectural structures. To the left, a female figure gestures towards the conflict, her posture suggesting alarm. In the background, a fortified city sits atop a rocky outcrop, providing a sense of scale and distance. The lighting is clear, allowing for the definition of forms and the textures of the armour and the dragon's scales. The palette remains grounded in earth tones, with the white horse providing a visual anchor for the viewer's eye amidst the darker, more shadowed areas of the rocky terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignorelli's approach to this subject avoids static iconography. Instead, he treats the encounter as a physical struggle. The dragon, positioned to the right, is rendered with a sense of ferocity that contrasts with the controlled posture of the knight. The inclusion of the city and the distant figures adds a narrative layer, suggesting a broader context for the event. This work demonstrates the artist's technical control over perspective and his interest in the dramatic potential of the human figure, characteristics that defined his contribution to the art of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/guillaume-bude-jean-clouet-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGuillaume Budé - Jean Clouet — Jean Clouet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-creation-of-the-sun-and-moon-michelangelo-buonarroti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Creation of the Sun and Moon - Michelangelo Buonarroti — Michelangelo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Luca Signorelli","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502883672399,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502904349007,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502904381775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502904414543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502904447311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502904480079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502904512847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502904545615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502904578383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502904611151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502904643919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502904676687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-George-and-the-Dragon_Poster_CompositorV1_1786430791101.jpg?v=1787024832","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/saint-george-and-the-dragon-luca-signorelli","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
