St. George's Oratory, Medieval Catholic chapel near Basilica of St. Anthony, Padua, Italy.
The oratory contains twenty-two narrative frescoes depicting religious figures across its brick walls and barrel-vaulted ceiling with painted stars.
Marquis Raimondino de' Lupi commissioned this family funerary chapel in 1376, with Altichiero da Zevio completing the frescoes by 1384.
The northeast wall presents seven detailed frescoes narrating Saint George's life, including his battle and subsequent martyrdom.
The frescoes underwent restoration after their rediscovery in 1837, following a period when they were covered with white paint during Napoleonic Wars.
Three bas-relief statues decorate the exterior facade, with Saint George positioned among architectural elements that frame the entrance.
