"The Temptation of Sir Percival" is a notable painting by the British artist Arthur Hacker, created in 1894. This work is part of the broader Arthurian and medieval revival in Victorian art, which sought to capture themes of chivalry, morality, and myth through the lens of the legendary tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Hacker, born in 1858 and a prominent figure in the late Victorian art scene, was well-regarded for his ability to blend contemporary art techniques with historical and literary themes, making his works particularly resonant with the Victorian public's fascination with medievalism.

The painting depicts a scene from the Arthurian legend of Sir Percival, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, who is best known for his quest for the Holy Grail. In the narrative, Sir Percival's purity and faith are tested as he encounters various temptations and trials that challenge his spiritual and moral resolve. Hacker's interpretation of this moment captures the intensity and drama of Percival's internal struggle, using rich colors, detailed imagery, and expressive composition to convey the themes of temptation, virtue, and the quest for spiritual purity.

"The Temptation of Sir Percival" is celebrated for its intricate detail, symbolic complexity, and its evocative portrayal of the knight's psychological and spiritual journey. The painting reflects Hacker's mastery of narrative art and his ability to evoke deep emotional and intellectual responses from the viewer. It stands as a significant contribution to the Victorian era's artistic exploration of medieval themes and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.

Housed in a prestigious collection, the painting remains an important piece for scholars studying the Arthurian revival in Victorian art, as well as those interested in the broader themes of morality, spirituality, and the human condition as explored through historical and mythological narratives. Through "The Temptation of Sir Percival," Arthur Hacker has left a lasting legacy in the canon of British art, offering a window into the rich tapestry of Victorian culture, its values, and its enduring fascination with the chivalric past.
