Albrecht Altdorfer's "Forest Scene with Saint George Fighting the Dragon" (1510) is a small, detailed oil painting that depicts the legendary battle between Saint George and the dragon in a dense forest setting. The painting's landscape is the main focus, with St. George and the dragon relegated to the bottom right corner of the composition. This is a key example of Altdorfer's pioneering landscape paintings that helped establish landscape as a legitimate artistic subject. The work is currently on display at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
