This is a study of the painting with an overlay of my drawing and another made in adobe illustrator (the red lines). You can see how important the angle that follows the spear is to the composition. The two secondary lines are found using the sword and the feet of the dragon. I included them so you could see what a marvel of triangular shapes Raphael created. It's also interesting that when you repeat the angle of the spear at the edge of the horses face, the helmet front and side you get a very strong connection with the dragon below. I think this is rather like the Boucher with the tension of the story connected to the tension in the geometry. But back to the spear. (-> #5)
