Saint George and the Dragon
Saint George and the Dragon (1434–1435) by Bernat Martorell is a masterful example of late Gothic Catalan painting. The composition depicts Saint George mounted on a white horse as he pierces the dragon with his lance, while the princess stands nearby in prayer, framed by a detailed medieval landscape and fortified city. Created in 1434–1435, the work reflects the refined linearity, decorative richness, and narrative clarity characteristic of the International Gothic style in the Crown of Aragon. Martorell, one of the leading painters in 15th-century Barcelona, produced this panel as part of an altarpiece dedicated to Saint George. The painting not only illustrates the legendary triumph of Christian virtue over evil but also demonstrates the artist’s meticulous attention to texture, armor, and expressive gesture. Today, it is regarded as one of Martorell’s most celebrated works and a significant achievement of Iberian Gothic art.
