Saint George Slaying the Dragon is a 1650 oil by Francisco Fernández, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting shows Saint George on a white horse, spearing a dragon with his lance. The dragon lies on the ground, its mouth open. In the background, a woman in a golden robe and crown stands on a hill, holding a cross. She wears a red cape and looks at Saint George. The woman might be a princess Saint George is rescuing. The scene is set in a landscape with trees, hills, and a body of water in the distance. To learn more about the artist who painted this, look up Francisco Fernández.
