Edmund Blair Leighton was an important painter of the Victorian era in Britain. Leighton focused on medieval chivalry, aristocratic life, and the elegant scenes of the Regency era. As depicted in this painting, the child, supported by his family, ascends the castle walls at a young age to overlook his knight. Thus, bloodline and heritage were indeed particularly important at the time. Do you think bloodline remains significant in modern society? #Entertainment#Painting#Bloodline#Victorian
