About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph: Ornate Jousting Knights with Striking Heraldry
This exceptional original hand-coloured lithograph, dating to 1842, offers a vibrant and detailed depiction of a medieval jousting tournament’s climax. Taken from the esteemed publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann, this scene was brought to life under the artistic direction of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, with historical context provided by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. Together, they endeavored to authentically portray the grandeur, codes, and ceremonial splendor of chivalric tradition.
In this dramatic image, two fully armored knights clash, each mounted on a horse outfitted in meticulously painted caparisons of vivid reds, golds, and whites. The heraldic motifs—elegant scrolls, crests, and geometric designs—evoke noble lineages, territorial claims, or alliances. The armor, rendered with fine shading, captures the polished steel surfaces, while the horses’ muscular forms and flowing manes accentuate the scene’s dynamism. One knight, adorned in luminous yellow and white, appears to have unhorsed his opponent, whose red-accented armor and lavish caparisoned steed now tilt precariously, visually narrating a moment of triumph and defeat.
The lithograph’s hand-applied colours remain remarkably rich and crisp, attesting to the quality of the original craftsmanship. Minor signs of aging, such as faint creases and gentle toning, lend authenticity without detracting from the artwork’s visual impact. This piece will captivate collectors of historical prints, medieval art, and equestrian imagery. Its intricate detail, dramatic storytelling, and connection to a richly illustrated historical record ensure that it will be a memorable centerpiece in any distinguished collection or exhibit.
