The Great Red Dragon paintings

[1] It was during this period that Blake was commissioned to create over one hundred paintings intended to illustrate books of the Bible.

The painting was famously referenced in the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, as well as in its subsequent film adaptations.

[6] Several of the paintings featured prominently in the 2019 psychological horror film Saint Maud by British director Rose Glass.

Near the end of the novel, he attempts to break away from his delusions by going to the Brooklyn Museum and eating the original painting itself.

The 2002 film version of the novel includes these elements, and features multiple shots of the painting, as did the NBC prequel series Hannibal.
