What is the name of the artist or painting that shows a knight and a maiden kissing in the stairwell?

It's obviously in a castle's stairwell,and they seem to be secrative or hiding.

What is the name of the artist or painting that shows a knight and a maiden kissing in the stairwell?
Below is a link of the painting that shetland was referring to, however I'm not sure that is the correct answer to your question.





The first painting that came to mind for me was "God Speed" c.1900 by Edmund Blair Leighton. Again I'm not sure that this is what you were looking for since they are not kissing and are not in secret. The next one I’d have you look at would be “Tristan and Isolde” by the same artist.





The final one that comes to mind would be “Romeo and Juliet” by Sir Frank Dicksee. (please see links below)





Edmund Blair Leighton's subject matter is typically of knights and maidens, so it might be a good start, however many artists were drawn to this subject, so it might help to get more information. Did you see it in a museum somewhere?
Reply:Might it be Francesco Hayez, 'The Kiss'?
