"God Speed!" is a painting by the Dutch-born British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, renowned for his depictions of luxury and decadence in the Roman Empire. Created in 1900, during the Victorian era, this artwork reflects Alma-Tadema's signature style, which is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and classical themes. The painting portrays a medieval scene where a lady bids farewell to a knight, a common motif symbolizing chivalry and the ideals of courtly love that were romanticized during the 19th century.

The composition of "God Speed!" is notable for its intricate rendering of textures and materials, such as the gleaming armor of the knight and the delicate fabrics worn by the lady. Alma-Tadema's use of light enhances the emotional impact of the scene, casting a warm glow that contrasts with the potential peril of the knight's quest. The title itself, "God Speed!", is an expression of good luck, a wish for success and safe return, which adds to the narrative tension of the painting.

As with many of Alma-Tadema's works, "God Speed!" was well-received in its time for its romanticized portrayal of an idealized past. The painting is emblematic of the artist's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the popularization of neoclassical subjects in Victorian art. Today, "God Speed!" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its representation of the cultural and artistic values of its era. The painting is part of a private collection and continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the late Victorian period and the revival of classical themes in European art.
