About the Item

19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Knightly Combat with Heraldic Horses This remarkable original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, captures a striking moment from the world of medieval-inspired tournaments. It is drawn from the illustrious publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. Under the artistic direction of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and the scholarly guidance of Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, this work aimed to recreate the grandeur, customs, and visual spectacle of the age of chivalry. In this particular image, two knights face off atop their richly adorned horses. Both combatants wear intricate plate armor, complete with ornate visors, crests, and decorative details that reflect their noble status. The horses themselves are draped in vibrant, heraldically significant caparisons—one with a distinctive pattern of diamonds and the other featuring bold solid hues. This interplay of color and pattern is a testament to the painstaking hand-colouring process, resulting in a print that dazzles the eye even nearly two centuries later. The condition of this lithograph is very good for its age. Minor age-toning and faint creasing do not detract from the clarity and brilliance of the image. The vibrant hand-applied hues remain vivid, emphasizing every curve of the armor and the fluid movement of the horses. Such details provide valuable insight into the aesthetics and traditions of European nobility, as well as the rituals that surrounded their martial pursuits. Collectors of historical prints, medieval and Renaissance pageantry, or fine lithographic artwork will appreciate the authenticity and artistry of this piece. It stands as a rare visual document of noble tournaments, ready to enhance any refined collection or gallery display.
