The Accolade: A Timeless Symbol of Honor and Valor - From the brush of Edmund Blair Leighton in 1901, this iconic painting captures the moment of knighthood bestowal. Whether it's a soldier on the Moroccan frontier, a 14th-century knight, or an Olympic champion, the accolade signifies recognition for extraordinary deeds and unwavering courage. The King's touch and the presentation of the brace symbolize entry into an esteemed order, such as the Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit, or the simple joy of victory. This enduring tradition continues to inspire awe and admiration, as seen in the Royal Visit to Jamaica.
