"The Knight Errant" is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent British artist and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Completed in 1870, the oil on canvas work is known for its vivid detail, rich color, and exploration of chivalric and moral themes. The painting depicts a scene in which a knight, having just cut down the tree to which a naked woman was bound, is in the process of freeing her from her shackles. The woman's vulnerability and the knight's protective role are central elements of the composition, reflecting Victorian ideals of chivalry and the Pre-Raphaelite interest in medievalism.

Millais' work is characterized by its meticulous attention to naturalistic detail, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to reject the formulaic approach of Mannerist painting that preceded it. "The Knight Errant" is no exception, with its lifelike rendering of figures and landscape. The painting's subject matter, drawn from the romanticized medieval past, was a common motif for the Pre-Raphaelites, who often imbued their works with moral or spiritual symbolism.

The painting was met with mixed reviews upon its exhibition, with some critics praising its technical prowess and moral narrative, while others found the depiction of the nude figure controversial. Despite this, "The Knight Errant" remains a significant work in Millais' oeuvre, exemplifying the artist's skill and the Pre-Raphaelite movement's enduring legacy in British art history.

"The Knight Errant" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. The work contributes to the understanding of Victorian art and the cultural context of the era, offering insight into the social norms, gender roles, and artistic values of the time.
