"St. George on Horseback" is a celebrated engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in approximately 1504-1505. This work is part of Dürer's extensive and influential body of graphic art, which includes woodcuts, engravings, and etchings. The engraving depicts the legendary figure of St. George, a Christian martyr and soldier saint, who is most famously known for the mythological tale in which he slays a dragon.

In Dürer's rendition, St. George is portrayed as a knight in armor, mounted on a horse, and engaged in battle with the dragon. The composition is notable for its intricate detail and the dynamic interplay of lines that create a sense of movement and drama. Dürer's mastery of the engraving medium is evident in the fine textures and the control of light and shadow, which give the image a three-dimensional quality and a sense of realism amidst the fantastical subject matter.

The theme of St. George and the Dragon was a popular one in Christian art, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Dürer's interpretation is particularly significant for its artistic innovation and its reflection of the humanist ideals of the Renaissance, which emphasized the power of the individual and the importance of personal virtue.

"St. George on Horseback" is held in high regard not only for its technical excellence but also for its cultural and historical importance. It exemplifies the transition from medieval to Renaissance art and provides insight into the religious and mythological iconography of the period. The engraving remains an important object of study for art historians and a testament to Dürer's legacy as one of the most skilled and influential artists of his time.
