Percival Delivering Belisane from the Enchantment of Urma

Henry Fuseli, 1741–1825

A woman in white clasps the central figure, who is about to strike a cloaked man on the floor with a sword. The lighting and exaggerated poses are very theatrical. Fuseli often depicted knightly heroics and lesser known legends in his early works.
