Landscape with a Kneeling Knight (Theseus?) is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting John the Baptist, held at National Museum in Kraków.
In this painting, a knight kneels in a lush landscape, surrounded by trees and a distant village. The knight wears a red cape and a helmet, with his sword by his side. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the knight's figure emerging from the shadows. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures of the trees and the knight's armor.
