In the Arthurian era legend of Tristan and Isolde, the brave medieval knight sir Tristan travels to Ireland. There, the king has promised the hand of his daughter Isolde to whomever can slay a dragon that has been plaguing the kingdom. Though sir Tristan does defeat the dragon, he is poisoned by the beast's tongue and nearly dies himself where ensues a further story about the King's nefarious steward claiming to have been the dragon slayer.

From the artist: This was part of an effort I've been making in 2025 to publish a series of knight themed artworks. Usually, a scene of a knight facing a dragon is about St. George, but for this one, I wanted to find a story about one of King Arthur's knights facing a dragon. Doing a bit of research, I found this part of Tristan and Isolde's story. The full story is actually rather long and elaborate but worth a read.


Thanks for looking,
