The Dragon and The Dog
While admiring 16th Century art in Venice, Adam Gopnik reflects on truth, fidelity and the loyalty of a little dog.
While viewing a 16th Century painting of St George slaying a dragon, Adam Gopnik reflects on how we all, in life, attempt to slay ‘the dragons of our disorder.’
He concludes that 'dragon and saint are permanently entangled, as our demonic forces are with our better nature.’
