EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning computer artwork of a winged dragon, its fiery breath illuminating the frame. Dragons have long been subjects of myths and legends across various cultures worldwide. In many western societies, these majestic creatures are often associated with death and evil due to their fire-breathing abilities. However, ancient civilizations like the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese held contrasting beliefs about dragons, considering them as benign and protective beings. In ancient China particularly, dragons were revered symbols of power and authority; they were even thought to possess control over the weather. The dragon's significance extended to being an emblem for the Emperor himself. This mythical creature has found its place not only in historical narratives but also within the realms of fantasy literature. The intricate illustration captures every detail of this legendary beast - from its menacing appearance to its powerful wings ready for flight. Its roaring presence evokes both awe and fear simultaneously. With this image before us, we are transported into a world where folklore intertwines with biology. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable piece that delves into our fascination with mythological creatures while showcasing breathtaking artistry through computer-generated imagery. It serves as a reminder that beyond scientific exploration lies an enduring human curiosity for fantastical tales woven throughout history.
