Andy Warhol Details of Renaissance Paintings (Paolo Uccello, George and the Dragon, 1460) (F & S II.324) For Sale

Andy Warhol's Paolo Uccello, George and the Dragon, 1460 is part of the artist’s Details of Renaissance Paintings series, created in 1984. Warhol focuses on a specific element from Uccello's painting of George slaying the dragon —the princess alongside the wing of the dragon—abstracting and simplifying it to align with his signature style.The removal of the narrative context in Uccello’s painting allows Warhol to focus on form, colour, and composition, transforming the original piece into something more graphic and abstract. Warhol’s absence of the titular George rewrite a patriarchal allegory, empowering the princess from her mythic surroundings.

Warhol’s use of bold colours, flat planes, and silkscreen techniques contrasts starkly with Uccello's intricate, painterly approach in the original. This flattening of the image evokes the commodified, mass-produced look that Warhol is known for, breaking the traditional reverence for Renaissance art by placing it in the context of pop culture. Warhol’s print suggests a playful critique of how Renaissance art, often viewed as the pinnacle of high culture, can be transformed into something purely aesthetic or commodified.
