The piece itself (anonymous, 1400s-1500s) comes from the powerful Florentine court of Medici and counts as one of many processionals of _Trionfo_ (Triumph), of Love or Death, syncretised with Roman tradition at that time. The background painting on youtube is _San Giorgio contro il drago_ - 'Saint George against the Dragon', by Vittore Carpaccio (c. 1460 – 1525/1526) of the Venetian school. The latter worked under Gentile Bellini.
