"St George and the Dragon" is a painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The work depicts the legendary tale of Saint George, the patron saint of England, slaying a dragon to rescue a princess. This subject has been a popular theme in Christian art, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.

Van Dyck's rendition of "St George and the Dragon" is characterized by its dynamic composition and dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque style. The painting showcases the moment of confrontation between the saint and the beast, with Saint George mounted on his horse, wielding a lance. The princess can often be seen in the background, emblematic of the innocent being saved by the saint's heroic act.

The exact date of creation for Van Dyck's "St George and the Dragon" is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been painted during his time in England in the 1630s. The work reflects Van Dyck's mastery of portraiture and historical scenes, combining a realistic depiction of the human figure with the theatricality of the Baroque aesthetic.

As with many of Van Dyck's paintings, "St George and the Dragon" has been studied for its technique, composition, and its place within the broader context of 17th-century European art. The painting is also significant for its cultural and national symbolism, particularly in England, where the legend of Saint George holds a special place in the national mythology.

The painting is held in various collections, and its provenance includes a history of ownership among European nobility and private collectors.
