Knight of the Flowers by Georges Rochegrosse is a large-scale oil on canvas painted in 1894 and currently in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. It depicts a scene inspired by Parsifal, the opera and medieval epic in which the chaste knight Parsifal enters an enchanted garden after defeating the magician Klingsor’s guards and resists the seductive calls of the flower maidens who surround him. Rochegrosse’s composition balances rich floral imagery and the idealised figure of the knight to explore themes of temptation and moral steadfastness, blending elements of Symbolism with realist and Impressionist touches. The work was praised at the 1894 Paris Salon and purchased by the French state for public collection, reflecting both the artist’s ambition to engage with contemporary tastes and his interest in mythological and literary subjects.
