Sir Galahad passes from the land 1901

Edwin Austin Abbey's 1901 painting "Sir Galahad passes from the land" depicts the legendary knight, a central figure in Arthurian lore, riding away from the world. The painting's composition is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite style, with a focus on detail and symbolism. Galahad, dressed in red armor, is riding a white horse, symbolic of purity and virtue. A woman in a pink dress kneels in prayer, perhaps representing the grief of those left behind as Galahad embarks on his spiritual journey. The scene is bathed in a soft light, highlighting the solemnity and mystery of the event.
