"St. George and the Princess of Trebizond" is a renowned fresco attributed to the Italian painter and medallist Antonio Pisano, commonly known as Pisanello. This artwork is a significant example of the early Italian Renaissance, a period marked by a renewed interest in the classical past and an emphasis on humanism. Pisanello, celebrated for his delicate and detailed style, was active in the first half of the 15th century and is considered one of the leading exponents of the International Gothic style transitioning into the Renaissance.

The fresco depicts the legendary tale of St. George, the Christian knight famed for slaying a dragon and saving a princess from certain death. In this rendition, St. George is portrayed in the act of spearing the dragon, while the Princess of Trebizond, an emblem of purity and innocence, stands nearby, often interpreted as a symbol of the rescued city or church. The work is noted for its intricate detail, vivid characterization, and the harmonious blend of chivalric and religious themes, which were popular in the courtly circles of the time.

Pisanello's fresco is believed to have been commissioned for a noble residence or a religious institution, reflecting the patron's piety and valor. The exact location of the original fresco is uncertain, and its current state is unknown, with only preparatory drawings and possibly some fragments or copies providing insight into its composition and style. These surviving elements, however, have allowed art historians to appreciate Pisanello's mastery in capturing the elegance of courtly life and the nobility of the saint's legend.

The "St. George and the Princess of Trebizond" is an important work in Pisanello's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in narrative representation and his contribution to the development of Renaissance art. The fresco's theme of chivalry and virtue resonated with contemporary audiences and continues to be admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
