St. George and the Dragon is a small cabinet painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael 1504-1506 now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The saint wears 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.
