About this work

This painting shows two men on horseback in separate scenes. Both riders wear armor and hold spears, with one fighting a dragon-like creature on the left and the other striking down a similar beast on the right. The background is simple, with bright greens, blues, and red clouds framing the action. The figures look flat and stylized, with bold outlines and bright colors. The text at the top is in a script that doesn’t look like Latin. The horses and riders are the main focus, with the monsters below them. Look up knight next to see how armor and battles were shown in older art.
