Pitman, Joanna
The Dragon's Trail : the Biography of Raphael's Masterpiece Joanna Pitman - 1st ed. - New york Simon & Schuster c2006 - 289 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Raphael's St. George and the Dragon is the work of a genius -- an exquisitely rendered vision of heroism and innocence by one of the greatest painters of all time. Yet the painting's creation is only the beginning of its fascinating story, which spans centuries of power play and intrigue, and has made it a witness to the rise and fall of the great powers of the Western world as it seduced its owners to ever greater heights of corruption and greed.
