The Merciful Knight, mid-late 19th century. Work inspired by an 11th-century legend whose hero is a Florentine knight named John Gualbert (an anglicisation of Giovanni Gualberto). Burne-Jones wrote that his painting depicted 'a knight who forgave his enemy when he might have destroyed him and...the image of Christ kissed him in token that his acts had pleased God'.
