"St. Margaret Slaying the Dragon" is a 19th-century painting by the French artist Antoine Auguste Ernest Hébert (1817–1908), known for his works that often combined classical themes with Romanticism. The painting depicts the legendary tale of Saint Margaret of Antioch, a Christian martyr from the 4th century, who is celebrated for her faith and miraculous escape from a dragon.

In the painting, Hébert captures the moment of triumph as St. Margaret, clad in flowing robes, stands over the subdued beast, symbolizing her victory over Satan and her steadfastness in faith. The work is imbued with a dramatic intensity characteristic of Romantic art, while also showcasing Hébert's skillful use of color and light to highlight the spiritual victory of the saint.

The subject of St. Margaret and the dragon was a popular theme in Christian art, reflecting the legend in which the saint was swallowed by a dragon, only to emerge unharmed after the cross she carried irritated the dragon's insides. Hébert's interpretation of this narrative is notable for its dynamic composition and the serene expression of the saint, which contrasts with the violent struggle that has just taken place.

"St. Margaret Slaying the Dragon" is part of Hébert's broader oeuvre, which includes religious, historical, and genre paintings. His works are known for their poetic and often melancholic qualities, with a focus on beauty and a refined use of color. Hébert's paintings can be found in various museums and collections in France and around the world, contributing to the understanding of 19th-century French art and its intersections with the religious and mythological subjects of earlier periods.

As an artist, Hébert held significant positions during his career, including director of the French Academy in Rome and professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His artistic legacy is marked by his contributions to academic art and the influence he had on subsequent generations of artists. "St. Margaret Slaying the Dragon" remains a testament to Hébert's artistic vision and his ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through the medium of painting.
