Beskrivning
A classic High Renaissance depiction of Saint George in combat, painted by Raphael during his formative years in Florence.
Painted during his time in Florence, this small-scale work by Raphael depicts the legendary combat between Saint George and the dragon. The composition captures the moment of impact, with the saint mounted on a white horse, his lance broken against the beast. Raphael employs a clear, balanced arrangement that reflects his study of contemporary Florentine masters, particularly Leonardo da Vinci, whose influence is visible in the dynamic posture of the horse and the atmospheric treatment of the background.
The saint is clad in dark, polished armour, his sword raised to deliver a final blow. Below him, the dragon recoils, its form twisted in a defensive posture. To the right, the princess flees the scene, her figure providing a sense of scale and narrative urgency. The background features a gentle, rolling terrain typical of the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside, painted with soft, muted tones that contrast with the more defined figures in the foreground.
Raphael demonstrates his early mastery of narrative clarity and anatomical precision. The painting is notable for its compact size, which suggests it was intended for private devotion or as a gift for a patron, possibly Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. The work remains a fine example of the transition between the artist's early training and the more monumental style he would later develop in Rome. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume, while the colour palette remains relatively restrained, focusing the viewer's attention on the central struggle. The broken pieces of the lance scattered on the ground serve as a visual record of the preceding action, adding a layer of temporal depth to the static image.

Artist Biography
Raphael
Raphael died on his birthday, at thirty-seven. Good Friday, 6 April 1520. He had been working himself to exhaustion on simultaneous commissions for the Pope, the Vatican, and half the Roman aristocracy. The fever that killed him may have been made worse by the bloodletting his doctors prescribed. He was the most famous artist in Europe. His funeral procession passed through streets lined with mourners and his unfinished painting, The Transfiguration, was placed at the head of his bier.
He was born in Urbino, the son of a painter. His father died when he was eleven, and by his teens he was already working in the studio of Perugino, whose smooth, symmetrical compositions gave Raphael his starting point. He surpassed Perugino quickly. He studied Leonardo's sfumato and Michelangelo's anatomical intensity and absorbed both without losing his own clarity. The Madonnas from his Florentine period (the Madonna of the Goldfinch, the Sistine Madonna) have a serene perfection that has been imitated for five hundred years and never matched.
Pope Julius II summoned him to Rome in 1508, the same year he commissioned Michelangelo for the Sistine ceiling. Raphael painted the Stanze della Segnatura: four rooms in the Vatican whose frescoes include The School of Athens, the single most famous image of classical philosophy. Plato and Aristotle walk through an ideal architecture surrounded by every major thinker of the ancient world. Raphael painted Michelangelo into the scene as Heraclitus, brooding alone on the steps. Michelangelo was furious.
He ran a large workshop that produced portraits, altarpieces, tapestry designs, and architectural plans. He was appointed architect of St Peter's Basilica. He was charming, diplomatic, and universally liked, which made Michelangelo dislike him even more.
