St George Freeing the Princess is a marble stiacciato bas-relief sculpture by Donatello, sculpted around 1416 or 1417[1]. Originally under the same artist's St George on an external niche of Orsanmichele church, they are both now in the Bargello Museum in Florence, with replicas replacing them in their original position[2].
