The Accolade by Edward Blair Keighton.
This print was dry mounted onto 3/8 hardboard. Then matted. The entire surface was covered with epoxy resin forming a protective lacquer finish that adds additional depth and luster to a timeless work of art.
The Accolade is one of many paintings produced by Leighton in the 1900s on the subject of chivalry, with others including God Speed and The Dedication It has been described as among Leighton's best-known works and one of the most recognizable paintings of the period.
Historians agree that the painting depicts an accolade, a ceremony to confer knighthood. Such ceremonies took many forms, including the tapping of the flat side of a sword on the shoulders of a candidate or an embrace about the neck.
This would be a stunning addition to any home environment.
