The gallant Gothic knight and his noble steed are led away from the field in defeat by his squire. While the tournament and the joust continues in the sunlight, the knight is shown moving into the shadows. This extremely detailed Medieval themed oil painting celebrating the time of chivalry is one of Leighton's finest examples of his Pre-Raphaelite style. Leighton's work bridged the commercial and critical divide earning a place in the Victorians' hearts. Famous for his romantic and vivid, Edwardian and Medieval compositions, artist Leighton drew inspiration from historic eras, literature, romance and the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. This replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
