Andy Warhol Details of Renaissance Paintings (Paolo Uccello, George and the Dragon, 1460) (F & S II.326) For Sale

Andy Warhol's Details of Renaissance Paintings (Paolo Uccello, George and the Dragon, 1460) exemplifies his fascination with both high art and mass culture, reinterpreting classic Renaissance works through his distinctive pop art lens. In this work, Warhol reimagines Paolo Uccello's famous painting of Saint George and the Dragon as a gaudy Pop Art masterpiece, far away from its Renaissance origins. The print reflects Warhol’s understanding of the evolving nature of art in a media-saturated age, where even classical paintings can be repurposed as part of a modern visual lexicon.

Rather than reproducing the whole of the original painting, Warhol has cropped the composition so it only features the princess and a section of the Dragon’s body and wing. The screenprint excludes the titular George. By isolating a single detail from the broader painting, Warhol dissects the mythological subject matter. This deliberate detachment strips the scene of its original religious and historical significance, reducing it to its sole visual elements. This reflects Warhol’s fascination with the idea of repetition and reproduction, echoing that of consumer culture. Just as his Campbell’s Soup cans turn an everyday product into art, his treatment of Renaissance paintings repositions them as objects of modern consumption, blurring the lines between "high" and "low" art.
