About the Item

19th-Century Hand-Coloured Knightly Joust: Ornate Armor & Horses in Action This original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, offers an intimate glimpse into the splendor of a medieval jousting tournament. It comes from the esteemed publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (The Knights’ Hall: A History of Chivalry), published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. The images were brought to life under the artistic guidance of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, while Dr. Franz Kottenkamp provided the historical insights that imbue each scene with authenticity and significance. In this dramatic composition, two knights thunder toward one another, their lances meeting at the very center of the frame. The horses are lavishly draped in caparisons featuring intricate patterns and sumptuous color palettes of deep reds, silvers, and golds. The knights’ armor, polished to a brilliant sheen, reflects the high status of these combatants, who were as much representatives of noble lineage and heraldic identity as they were skilled warriors. The hand-applied coloring has stood the test of time remarkably well, maintaining vivid tones and fine detailing. The paper exhibits only minor age-appropriate toning and a faint crease or two, which do not detract from the overall visual impact. Instead, these subtle signs of age attest to the print’s genuine 19th-century provenance. This piece will captivate collectors of medieval history, fans of European chivalry, and those who appreciate masterful lithographic artistry. Its vibrant imagery and rare authenticity make it an exceptional find, ready to enhance any distinguished collection or gallery display with its compelling narrative of valor, artistry, and noble competition.
