London's National Gallery bought dragon icon for $20 million

The National Gallery in London has acquired a mysterious icon, "Madonna and Child with Saints Louis and Margaret," for $20 million, sparking intrigue due to its unknown artist. The painting, believed to be from around 1510, features the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, and saints, along with a dragon. The gallery has been pursuing the artwork for decades, and it will be unveiled to the public on Saturday, May 10th. Experts suggest a possible Dutch origin for the altarpiece, which was first documented in 1602. The icon's unique elements, including a dragon with a dog-like face, have led to it being described as "full of iconographic oddities."
