I'm pretty sure that you're talking about the Spanish artist Bernardo Martorell (1400-1452) who claimed St. George as his patron saint. Martorell worked as a panel painter and illuminator in the service of the city of Barcelona, but he was often given the task of preparing designs for stained glass windows and for sculptures as well.
Here's a link to a now-disassembled altar piece devoted to St. George. It includes additional information about the work:

A little more info on this panel: http://library.thinkquest.org/13348/html/george.html
If this isn't what you're looking for, here is a link to some other works on St. George, and you might find the artist listed here, although most are Italian painters: http://www.ucc.ie/milmart/grgwstart.html

Spanish school means that no one knows the name of the artist but it is painted in the style of the spanish . Polyptych means that it is painted in a series of panels . More information is probably not known . Is it on a church alter ?
