Dragons

Dragons are central characters in the legends of many cultures. These fantastical creatures are revered, reviled and venerated as gods, heroes and villains. It's not surprising that dragon art has flourished in all corners of the earth with elaborate depictions of dragon battles and conquests. Dragon-themed fantasy art is a genre by itself with paintings depicting magical scenes in which these winged, serpentine beasts may use their fire-spewing gifts for good or for destruction. In battle scenes or peaceful settings, the dragon is symbolic of man's fascination with a higher power.
