Venice - Confraternity House of St George of the Dalmatians

(Local Name: Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni) This was the Scuola of the Dalmatian merchants, the "Schiavoni" (Slavs). Between 1502 and 1508 Vittore Carpaccio decorated its walls with the cycle of paintings which still survive complete and which rank as his most important work alongside his pictures in the Galleria dell'Accademia, the Museo Correr and the Ca' d'Oro.

There are no captions to the pictures. Those on the left wall are "St George killing the Dragon" and "The Triumph of St George".

Left and right of the altar: "St George baptizing the heathen King and Queen" and "St Tryphon exorcising the Daughter of the Emperor Gordianus".

Right wall: "The Agony in the Garden", "The Calling of St Matthew", "St Jerome leading his Lion into a Monastery", "The Funeral of St Jerome", and "St Jerome in his Study".
