"The Accolade" is a painting by the British artist Edmund Blair Leighton (1852–1922), a painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic styles. Completed in 1901, this work is one of Leighton's most famous and has been widely reproduced. It depicts a medieval scene in which a queen or noble lady is bestowing knighthood upon a kneeling warrior. The painting is renowned for its attention to detail, romanticized view of the chivalric order, and the use of rich, vibrant colors.

Leighton's meticulous approach to historical accuracy in costume and setting, as well as his skill in portraying the textures of metal, fabric, and flesh, contribute to the painting's appeal. "The Accolade" has been interpreted as an idealized representation of the values of honor, duty, and courtly love, which were subjects of fascination in the Victorian era. The painting's popularity has endured into the modern era, where it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its evocation of a bygone era of chivalry.

"The Accolade" is part of a series of works by Leighton that explore similar themes of medievalism and chivalry, including "God Speed!" (1900) and "The Dedication" (1908). These paintings reflect the broader interest in medievalism that characterized much of Victorian art and literature. "The Accolade" is held in a private collection and has become an iconic image, often used in popular culture to represent the ideals of knighthood and the romantic aspects of the medieval period.
