Saint George and the Princess of Trebizond

Saint George and the Princess of Trebizond
Saint George and the Princess of Trebizond (about 1435, Pellegrini Chapel, Santa Anastasia, Verona, Italy) is a fresco by Italian painter Pisanello, who is considered a master of the International Gothic style. This style can be observed in the elegantly fluid lines of the work and its decorative tapestrylike quality. Despite this stylization, Pisanello studied the forms of animals and people from life so that his work never appears formulaic.
