Istrian stone 84x47x12 cm, Inv. n. 54

The work is dated 1339 and comes from the old church of the Dominican Order. The inscription in Gothic letters commemorates the construction of St. George's Chapel in 1339 as Andrea Cacciaguerra, "father of astrology and serious physician" desired. The patron is portrayed kneeling on the right, offering a small church.
In the representation to the left is St. George on a horse barded and dressed as he flies over the dragon in the form of a large bird with folded wings. On the right, the princess his grasping the jaw and the ear of the dragon to prevent it from striking the knight.
This is characteristic of the Romanesque sculpture of the Po River plain, with signs of movement, naturalism, and expressiveness in the images of the dragon and the knight. The dragon, similar to a basilisk, winds its snake-like tail around the horse's hoof. St. George is portrayed dressed in a tunic and cape, with his foot resting firmly in the stirrup, in the act of stabbing the lance into the dragon's jaws, while the horse is rearing and leaping on his hind legs, almost bending its head towards the monster.
