"Retrato de un Caballero como San Jorge" (Portrait of a Gentleman as Saint George) is a 19th-century painting by Spanish artist José Gutiérrez de la Vega, a prominent figure in the Romantic period of Spanish art. The painting is a notable example of the Romantic fascination with chivalry, heroism, and the revival of historical and religious themes. In this work, Gutiérrez de la Vega portrays a gentleman in the guise of Saint George, the legendary Roman soldier and Christian martyr who became a venerated saint in Christianity, known for the mythical tale of slaying a dragon and saving a princess.

The painting reflects the Romantic era's penchant for idealized, dramatic representations, blending historical portraiture with religious iconography. The subject is depicted in a heroic pose, wearing armor and bearing the attributes of Saint George, including a lance and a shield emblazoned with the cross, symbolizing the knight's Christian valor. The fusion of portraiture with the depiction of a saint suggests a personalized narrative, possibly commemorating the subject's virtues or an event in his life metaphorically linked to the legend of Saint George.

Gutiérrez de la Vega's skillful use of color and light, along with his attention to detail in the armor and accoutrements, contribute to the painting's dramatic effect and its ability to convey the romanticized ideals of the time. "Retrato de un Caballero como San Jorge" is considered an important work in Gutiérrez de la Vega's oeuvre, exemplifying the intersection of personal portraiture with the broader cultural and religious symbolism prevalent in the Romantic period of Spanish art. The painting is also significant for its representation of 19th-century Spanish identity and the era's artistic trends, which sought to connect contemporary society with its historical and legendary past.
