My Mentor artist for this project is Raphael for his work on "Saint George and the Dragon". The painting is based on an actual myth or story around this Saint George. I do not know the whole story and I honestly don't care to know at the moment; but the theme of the painting is reused repeatedly by many different artist.
Raphael was born in Urbino, Marche ether on March 28th, 1483 or on April 6. 1483. He was Italian, and usually did tradional paintings around chirstian stories and buildings. He was also known for his work in printmaking. He died on April 6, 1520 at the age of 37 in Rome.
