While he was never a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Frank Dicksee's works show the clear influence of his PRB contemporaries in their style and subject matter. His Belle Dame Sans Merci was inspired by a ballad of the same name by Romantic poet John Keats, which tells the story of a fairy woman who seduces a young knight to his downfall. As with many Pre-Raphaelite works, Dicksee's painting barely hints at the fates awaiting its subjects, leaving the viewer to discover the outcome in the original poem: 'I saw pale kings and princes too,/Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;/They cried—"La Belle Dame sans Merci/Hath thee in thrall!"'
