"The Legend of Saint George: The Saint Decapitated" is a notable work by the Catalan painter Bernat (Bernardo) Martorell, created during the 15th century, which depicts a scene from the life of Saint George, a Christian martyr and soldier saint. Martorell, who was active during the International Gothic period, is renowned for his contributions to Catalan painting and for his detailed, narrative-driven works that often feature religious and chivalric themes.

This particular painting is part of a series that illustrates the legend of Saint George, who is best known for his mythical battle with a dragon. However, "The Saint Decapitated" focuses on a different aspect of the saint's story, portraying the moment of his martyrdom. The artwork is significant for its representation of the saint's sacrifice and its reflection of the religious fervor and artistic style of the time.

Martorell's painting is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate details, and the use of gold leaf, which was typical of the Gothic period. The composition likely served a devotional purpose, inspiring viewers with the saint's steadfast faith in the face of death. As with many of Martorell's works, this painting demonstrates the influence of contemporary European art movements, while also showcasing the unique qualities of the Catalan Gothic style.

"The Legend of Saint George: The Saint Decapitated" is an important piece within Martorell's oeuvre and provides insight into the cultural and artistic context of 15th-century Catalonia. It remains a valuable artifact for both art historians and those interested in the hagiographic traditions surrounding Saint George.
