专家说明

Titled after a line from the first quatrain of John Keats' famous 1819 ballad, 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci', this early painting by Krishen Khanna reflects on the same notions of beauty and illusion as the poet did more than a century before. In this almost-abstract winter landscape, Khanna gives visual expression to the hauntingly romantic theme of the poem and the lovelorn 'knight at arms' that it addresses.
