Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni is a historic Venetian confraternity and art museum renowned for its cycle of paintings by Vittore Carpaccio, depicting scenes of Dalmatian saints.

The Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni is a historic confraternity and art museum in Venice, Italy, founded in 1451 by the Dalmatian community. It is celebrated for its remarkable cycle of paintings by Vittore Carpaccio, created between 1502 and 1508, which depict scenes from the lives of Dalmatian saints, including St. George, St. Tryphon, and St. Jerome. The building itself is a fine example of Venetian Gothic architecture and retains its original layout, offering visitors an intimate glimpse into the artistic and cultural heritage of the Dalmatian diaspora in Venice. The scuola also houses a small collection of artifacts and religious objects, adding to its historical significance. Located in the Castello district, it remains a lesser-known gem compared to Venice's more crowded attractions, providing a quiet and enriching experience for art and history enthusiasts.
