About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Francisco Fernández, this Spanish Baroque work captures the peak of drama as Saint George, adorned in a feathered helmet and gleaming armor, subdues the dragon. The luminous white horse and the billowing crimson cloak of the saint create a striking focal point against the atmospheric landscape and the witnessing princess.
