A sacred battle between Good and Evil, in an elegant and luminous staging

Painted around 1506, probably at the request of the Duke of Urbino, Saint George and the Dragon is one of the most famous early works of Raphaël Sanzio. This dynamic and symbolic scene illustrates the Christian legend of Saint George, patron of knights, slaying the dragon to save a princess.

Raphaël transforms this tale of bravery into an elegant and controlled scene, where faith, courage, and pictorial grace come together in perfect harmony Renaissance.

A composition both heroic and poetic

Precise gesture, controlled strength, natural setting

In this work rich in details:
– Saint George, mounted on a rearing white horse, in shining armor,
– Plants his spear into the body of the threatening dragon, on the ground,
– In the background, the princess, witness to the miracle, watches from the hill,
– The clear and wooded landscape, bathed in soft light, gives the scene a serene atmosphere despite the action,
– The horse, nervous but graceful, also seems to participate in the saint's momentum.

Each element is handled with finesse: the cast shadows, the drape of the red cape, the dragon's scales, and the knight's determined gaze.

A work of faith, bravery, and chivalric ideal

Saint George and the Dragon embodies the Christian ideal of the hero, one who fights evil not by violence but by faith, courage, and virtue.
Raphaël makes a painting full of nobility, far from the dramatic scenes of late Gothic: here, everything is calm, light, inner victory.

It is a work that speaks to all those who believe in the universal values of good, protection, and self-transcendence.
