"Sir Galahad - the Quest of the Holy Grail" (1870) by Arthur Hughes depicts the legendary knight Sir Galahad on his quest for the Holy Grail. Set against a backdrop of a starry night, Galahad, clad in armor, rides his white steed through a rocky landscape. Above him, a radiant angel, representing purity and divine guidance, soars towards the heavens. This Pre-Raphaelite painting, known for its detailed realism and symbolism, captures the essence of the Arthurian legend and the spiritual journey of its protagonist. The artwork is housed at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, UK.
