The "Execution of St. George" (Italian: "Decollazione di san Giorgio") is a significant fresco created by the Italian painter Altichiero da Zevio in the late 14th century. Altichiero, a prominent figure in the Gothic art movement, is renowned for his detailed and expressive frescoes that adorned various religious and secular buildings in Northern Italy. This particular fresco is part of a larger cycle of works dedicated to the life and martyrdom of St. George, located in the Oratory of St. George (Oratorio di San Giorgio) in Padua, Italy.

The fresco vividly captures the dramatic moment of St. George's execution, a popular subject in Christian art due to the saint's status as a revered martyr and legendary dragon-slayer. Altichiero's depiction is notable for its intricate composition, emotional intensity, and the use of perspective, which was innovative for its time. The scene is set against a detailed architectural backdrop, enhancing the narrative's realism and depth. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Altichiero's skill in portraying human emotion and movement.

Altichiero's work on the "Execution of St. George" reflects the transition from the medieval to the early Renaissance style, characterized by a greater emphasis on naturalism and the human experience. The fresco is part of a broader artistic tradition that sought to inspire piety and convey moral lessons through vivid storytelling and visual splendor.

The Oratory of St. George, where the fresco is housed, was commissioned by the prominent Lupi family of Verona and completed around 1384. It stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural vibrancy of Padua during this period. Altichiero's frescoes, including the "Execution of St. George," continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and artistic excellence, offering valuable insights into the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Italy.
