How do you define "fantasy"?

When you think of fantasy artwork, what kind of images come to mind first? Is it only swords & sorcery, dragons, and mythological settings? Would you include Weird Tales-esque speculative science or otherworldly horror in your definition? This is a big gray area for me. Are there any vital elements that fantasy cannot do without?

All what you have mentioned and more but science. If the (fictional) tech/scientific part in those image has a big part in the setting i will call that science fiction.
That does not include drawing more than one moon or sun in the background... but a starship would make it science fiction.
Ciao!
