Saint George and the Dragon
Paolo Uccello · 1470
Why it's great
A knight on a white horse stabs a dragon, while a princess leads the monster away on a string like a pet. Paolo Uccello painted it in the 1470s, and the sky, with a swirly storm cloud, adds to the drama.

Paolo Uccello was a Florentine painter born in about 1397. He was so crazy about the new science of perspective that he filled his pictures with lances, broken spears and tiled floors that line up to a point. He died in 1475.
