Time to give this thread a bump.
Dragon peril from a piece of world literature, depicted by the most famous artists.
Angelica is princess from an Asian country, introduced by Matteo Maria Boiardo's 'Orlando innamorato', published around 1490. She arrives at Charlemagne's court. Of a stunning beauty, she makes all the knight's heads mad about her, but she playes it 'very hard to get'.
The novel was never finished, but the theme was continued by Ludovico Ariosto in his 'Orlando furioso' (1516-1532). Angelica has disappeared, but Orlando and the other knights keep looking for her. At the end, it is a knight named Ruggiero who finds her. She is chained naked to a rock by people of some village, as a sacrifice to a sea monster. Ruggiero kills the monster and frees Angelica. Some artworks depicting the scene :
By Gustave Doré.
By Jean-Auguste Ingres (1819).
By Joseph Paul Blanc (1876).
By Giorgio de Chirico (1940).
By Arnold Böcklin (1873) - I love that grumpy look of the sea monster!
And many others....
The inspiration from the Perseus and Andromeda myth is very obvious.
Spoiler alert : Angelica finally marries a simple soldier, she has nursed, moves back home with him and disappears out of the story.
