Józef Chełmoński - "Starry Night"

[enchantedbook]

The knight’s encounter with the mysterious faery lady, an otherworldly figure who enchants him, draws him away from the world of men, and leaves his soul bound to her spell.

“I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful, a faery’s child…”

From John Keats’s poem "La Belle Dame sans Merci." Engraving after Edward Brewtnall, 1881.
