XI. The passing of King Amfortas
Abbey, Edwin Austin, 1852-1911 · [ca. 1893–1902]
Having grown wise through his trials, Sir Galahad returns to the Castle of the Grail and succeeds in asking the Question. As such, he manages to free King Amfortas from the spell. Now cleansed of sin, the old man is allowed to die. An angel bears the Grail away from the Castle. -- Adapted from: An outline of this version of the legend by Henry James.
