Here's a link to a pretty cool video showcasing some classic knightly paintings and drawings by such artists as Howard Pyle, NC Wythe, and Angus McBride.  Makes me think of that copy of "King Arthur for Boys" that I had on near-permantent checkout from my local library as a kid.  It's set to some pretty nice period music, too!
