This article explores what we can learn from creative responses to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which comprises a growing visual language, inclusive of the original images of the codex, the illustrations of popular translations, contemporary artworks that respond to the poem, and the recent film adaptation.

In The Green Knight, David Lowery's 2021 film version of the Middle English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain is portrayed as a Perceval figure. Recognizing this aspect of Lowery's approach to the film allows for a fuller understanding of many of the choices that the director has made in crafting it and demonstrates the work's intricate engagement with the Arthurian tradition, both in writing and on film.
