"Saint George and the Dragon" is a series of paintings by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Burne-Jones created several versions of this subject, the most notable being a large-scale work completed in 1866, now held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and a smaller version painted between 1873 and 1877, which is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

The paintings depict the legendary tale of Saint George, the patron saint of England, who is famed for slaying a dragon that was terrorizing the countryside and saving a princess from being sacrificed to the creature. Burne-Jones's interpretation of the myth is characterized by its romantic and dreamlike quality, with a strong emphasis on the beauty and elegance of the figures, as well as the use of rich, vibrant colors that were typical of his work.

In the larger version, Burne-Jones presents a moment of triumph, with Saint George poised with his lance over the subdued dragon, while the princess kneels in prayerful gratitude. The composition is notable for its harmonious lines and the sense of calm nobility that pervades the scene. The smaller version, while similar in theme, offers a more intimate portrayal, focusing on the interaction between the saint and the princess, with the dragon lying defeated in the background.

Burne-Jones's "Saint George and the Dragon" is considered an exemplary work of Victorian art, reflecting the artist's fascination with medievalism and his commitment to the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which sought to revive the purity and intensity of early Renaissance art. The paintings are celebrated for their technical mastery, symbolic depth, and the way they evoke a sense of mythic grandeur, making them enduring masterpieces of 19th-century British art.
