Embarking on a timeless journey, the quest begins. Inspired by tales of chivalry and honor, Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, and Sir Percival set forth to attain The Vision of the Holy Grail. In their pursuit of greatness, they utter the words "In Manus Tuas Domine. " - placing their trust in a higher power. With brush strokes capturing every detail, artist Briton Riviere immortalizes this epic quest in his masterpiece from 1879. Meanwhile, Bristol 156 Beaufighter IV takes flight as a quartet ventures into the unknown seeking answers. Don Quixote finds solace among his books; his mind consumed by quests both real and imagined. And amidst temptation's allure, Sir Percival faces an internal struggle depicted on canvas in 1894. Richard the Lionheart sets sail for distant lands during the Third Crusade – driven by duty and determination to fulfill his own quest for glory. A knight's unwavering resolve is etched forever in Albrecht Dürer's iconic work from 1513. The yearning for adventure continues with each passing generation; even in modern times like that portrayed in "The Quest" from 1921. Guided by Athena herself, Telemachus embarks on a relentless search for his father Odysseus. At crossroads where destiny hangs precariously between choices lies Viktor Mihajlovic Vasnecov's depiction of a knight contemplating his next move – aware that one decision can alter everything. An obsessed alchemist tirelessly pursues knowledge beyond mortal comprehension while Shackleton's ship "The Quest" braves treacherous waters towards uncharted territories – both embodying the spirit of relentless exploration. Through these diverse depictions spanning centuries and mediums alike, we are reminded that quests come in many forms but share one common thread: an insatiable thirst to discover what lies beyond the horizon.
