To identify the vertex of the quadratic function \( y = -2(x - 13)^2 + 47 \), we can use the vertex form of a quadratic equation, which is given by:

\[
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
\]

Here, \( (h, k) \) is the vertex of the parabola. In your equation:

- \( a = -2 \)
- \( h = 13 \)
- \( k = 47 \)

Thus, the vertex is \( (h, k) = (13, 47) \).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**(13, 47)**
