Sir Galahad (from Tennyson's Poems, New York, 1903) 1857 - 1903

"Sir Galahad" is a wood engraving by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, known for its revival of medieval art and themes. The artwork, created in 1857 for a 1903 edition of Tennyson's "Poems," depicts Sir Galahad, a central figure in Arthurian legend, as he gazes intently into a bowl. This scene, rendered with meticulous detail and deep shadows, evokes a sense of introspection and spiritual contemplation, a key characteristic of Rossetti's work. The engraving is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
