"San Giorgio e il Drago" (Saint George and the Dragon) is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio. Created around 1502, this work is part of a series of paintings depicting the legend of Saint George, which were commissioned for the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni in Venice. The painting is celebrated for its vivid narrative and meticulous detail, characteristic of Carpaccio's style.

The artwork illustrates the moment of triumph in the legend of Saint George, a Christian martyr and soldier saint, who is shown slaying the dragon that had terrorized the city of Silene in Libya. According to the Golden Legend, by saving the city and rescuing the king's daughter, who was to be sacrificed to the dragon, Saint George secured the conversion of the city's inhabitants to Christianity.

Carpaccio's rendition of the scene is set against a backdrop that reflects the idyllic landscape of the Venetian lagoon, blending the mythical story with contemporary Venetian architecture and geography. The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the intricate representation of the figures, the dragon, and the surrounding environment. The foreground is dominated by the valiant figure of Saint George on horseback, in the act of driving his lance through the dragon's head, while the princess and a group of onlookers witness the event from a safe distance.

"San Giorgio e il Drago" is a testament to Carpaccio's skill in storytelling through art and his ability to infuse his works with both spiritual significance and a sense of place. The painting remains an important example of Venetian Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its iconography, composition, and cultural context. It is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to attract scholars and admirers from around the world.
