Raphael's Timeless Masterpiece

National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
The Significance of St. George and the Dragon
St. George, a Roman soldier of Christian faith, is depicted as saving the daughter of a pagan king by subduing a dragon with his lance. The princess then leads the dragon to the city, where it is slain, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. This powerful narrative has made St. George and the Dragon an enduring subject in art history.
Award-Winning Artistry
The painting features the blue garter of the English Order of the Garter, reflecting the award of this decoration in 1504 to Raphael's patron Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, by King Henry VII of England. The first word of the order's motto, 'HONI', can be made out, further emphasizing the significance of this prestigious recognition.
