Pallas and Centaur based on the Greek Myth: Zeus plundered Europa and came to the island of Grete to give birth to two sons, one was called Minos who became the king of Grete and married Pasi. The restless Pasi carried on a clandestine love affair with a bull and gave birth to a monster Centaur who was half people and half bull. Later Pasi was locked in the maze to avoid the scandal. Minos requested the defeated Athens to pay tribute to seven children for Centaur every seven years. This mythological painting depicted the scene of Pallas arresting Centaur. The painters during the Early Renaissance still could not get out under the control of the gods, therefore they only used the mythical and religious subjects to describe their own understanding of real life in order to convey his view and attitude for the whole world and life. This painting was praising for virtue and punishing vice. This painting not only played a realistic style, but also was very decorative. The painter mainly took the lines to form and added the light and dark method at the same time. The figures were slender and graceful, dressed in pneumatic elegance. The complex skirt crease formed the flow rhythm aesthetic lines and the body tightly wrapped by the close-fitting clothes pleat had shown the beauty of the charming human body. The painter focused on the structure beauty of the form and ignored the description of the inner spirit contact between the characters, so it was very perfect and not moving.
