Painting Description
"St. George Fighting the Dragon" is a renowned painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. Created around 1504–1506, this artwork is a prime example of Raphael's early period, showcasing his mastery in depicting narrative and movement. The painting illustrates the legendary tale of Saint George, the Christian knight celebrated for slaying a dragon that terrorized a town and its inhabitants. In this dramatic scene, Raphael captures the moment of confrontation between the valiant saint and the fearsome beast.
Measuring 31 cm × 27 cm (12 in × 11 in), the small oil painting was likely intended for private devotion, reflecting the popular medieval theme of chivalry and virtue triumphing over evil. Raphael's rendition of the subject is noted for its dynamic composition and the finesse with which he renders the figures of George and the dragon. The saint is depicted astride a rearing white horse, lance in hand, poised to strike the dragon, which coils menacingly below. The background features a distant landscape, providing a serene contrast to the violent encounter in the foreground.
The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is one of several versions of the St. George theme that Raphael painted during his career, each varying in detail and composition, but all underscoring his ability to convey heroic action with elegance and clarity. "St. George Fighting the Dragon" is an important work in Raphael's oeuvre, offering insight into his development as an artist and his influence on the narrative depiction in Renaissance art.
