## Commentary

The artist was trained in Milan, where he became a close follower of Leonardo. His style combines influences from Leonardo, Fra Bartolommeo, and Raphael. Most of his career was spent in Siena. The wealth of narrative detail, histrionic action, and crowded composition are typical Mannerist tendencies of the mid-sixteenth century. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: SODOMA, Il Title: St George and the Dragon Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious
