Saint George and the Dragon

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Saint George and the Dragon." It was painted by a very talented artist named Maurice Denis way back in 1910. That's over one hundred years ago! nn Can you say "Saint George and the Dragon?" nn This painting tells a story about a brave knight named Saint George. He's fighting a scary dragon! Do you see him in the painting? nn Look at all the pretty colors! The artist used lots of bright pinks, oranges, and yellows. What do you think those colors make you think of? nn Now, look at the blue water. It's so different from the bright colors of the land, isn't it? That's how the artist showed us how far away the water is. nn The artist wanted to make the painting look like a tapestry, which is like a big, colorful blanket with pictures woven into it. Don't you think it looks like a tapestry? nn This painting is more than just a story about a knight and a dragon. It reminds us that there is always good in the world, even when things seem scary. Just like brave Saint George, we can be brave too! nn Now, let's go look at some other amazing paintings!
