Description   

Dosso focused on the complex psychology of the saint as he emerges from his legendary battle with the dragon. The saint's furrowed brow, emotive eyes, and open mouth suggest the toll of the fierce fight mixed with dawning, sorrowful relief. Dosso's use of light and color for dramatic effect can also be seen in the artist's later work in this gallery
