"St. George and the Princess" is a celebrated Renaissance painting created by the Italian artist Cosme Tura in 1469. Tura, a leading figure of the Ferrarese school, was known for his distinctive style that combined Gothic and Renaissance elements, characterized by vivid colors, elongated figures, and meticulous attention to detail. This painting is a prime example of Tura's work and is significant for its representation of the popular legend of Saint George, who was revered as a Christian martyr and dragon slayer.

The artwork depicts the moment of confrontation between Saint George, mounted on his steed, and the dragon, with the princess nearby. The scene is set against a rocky and barren landscape, which serves to heighten the drama of the encounter. Saint George, clad in shining armor, is shown in the act of spearing the dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The princess, often interpreted as a personification of the city of Ferrara or the Christian Church, stands to the side, her fate hanging in the balance.

"St. George and the Princess" is notable for its intricate iconography and the way it reflects the cultural and religious values of the time. Tura's use of perspective and his ability to convey movement and tension in the composition demonstrate his mastery of the emerging techniques of the early Renaissance. The painting is also an important piece of evidence for the study of courtly art in the Italian Renaissance, as it was likely commissioned by a member of the Este family, the rulers of Ferrara, for whom Tura worked as a court painter.

Today, "St. George and the Princess" is admired for its historical significance and its contribution to the development of Italian Renaissance art. It remains a testament to Cosme Tura's unique artistic vision and his role in shaping the visual culture of 15th-century Italy. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and the public alike.
