Genuinely The Most Intriguing Painting I've Ever Seen

In recent months, this painting has taken the art world by storm. The National Gallery in London paid 20 million dollars for it — but that’s not the most shocking part. At the feet of the Virgin Mary, there’s a strange figure unlike anything ever seen in a religious painting… a dragon.

No one knows who painted it, and for centuries its meaning remained a mystery — until a recent analysis revealed details that might finally explain the origin of this unusual creature.

What do the figures surrounding the Virgin have to do with its meaning? In this video, we’re going to find out.
