Sf. Mare Mucenic Dimitrie is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting angel, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a knight on a white horse fighting a dragon. The knight wears blue and armor, holding a sword. Above, a winged figure in orange robes and a small angel hover in the sky, which is dotted with blue stars. The dragon’s tail curls around the horse’s legs, and the ground looks rocky with swirling water below. The knight’s armor and the angel’s soft robes contrast with the dragon’s rough scales. The orange robes of the winged figure look almost like fire. The painting’s colors are bright but flat, like a storybook illustration. Look up equestrian to see how knights on horseback were often shown in art.
