"St George and the Dragon" is a notable painting by the British artist Briton Rivière, created in 1914. Rivière, renowned for his animal paintings and historical subjects, brings to life the legendary tale of Saint George, the patron saint of England, and his heroic battle with the dragon. The painting captures the climactic moment of the myth, where Saint George, mounted on a rearing horse, confronts the fearsome dragon. The composition is dynamic, with a strong sense of movement and tension, characteristic of Rivière's dramatic style.

The legend of Saint George and the Dragon is rooted in medieval folklore and has been a popular subject in art and literature for centuries. According to the legend, Saint George, a Roman soldier, rescues a princess from a dragon that has been terrorizing her kingdom. The dragon symbolizes evil, and Saint George's victory represents the triumph of good over evil. Rivière's interpretation of this story is both vivid and evocative, emphasizing the bravery and nobility of Saint George.

Rivière's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the dragon's scales and the horse's musculature, showcasing his skill in rendering both human and animal forms. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the central figures against a dark, foreboding background. The painting reflects Rivière's academic training and his ability to convey narrative through visual means.

"St George and the Dragon" is housed in the collection of the Tate Britain, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its portrayal of a timeless legend. Rivière's work remains an important example of late 19th and early 20th-century British art, illustrating the enduring appeal of mythological themes in Western art history.
