il duello

The duel

After a long chase, the knight and the dragon meet for the final showdown. They are not real creatures, they are the two parts of the being, good and evil, fighting to extend their dominance each other. The forces are balanced, both are twofold: the knight has his white horse, like the clouds' expression of purity, the dragon has a tail, a symbol of evil. The knight is ready to strike the opponent with his spear, and to reach the castle, not a real place, but the ultimate goal. Although he is sure of his strength, he looks at the dragon with compassion, because he knows to suppress a part of himself.
