19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Knightly Helmets with Vibrant Plumes

About the Item

19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Knightly Helmets with Vibrant Plumes Description: This striking hand-coloured lithograph features four elaborately decorated knightly helmets adorned with colorful plumes, exemplifying the grandeur and symbolism of medieval and Renaissance tournament armor. From the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, this plate captures both the artistry and prestige associated with chivalric traditions. The four helmets are rendered with meticulous attention to detail: - The **top left helmet** boasts an elegant black steel design with plumes of white and blue, emphasizing grace and heraldic significance. - The **top right helmet** features deep red and black feathers, a bold combination symbolizing power and authority on the battlefield or jousting grounds. - The **bottom left helmet** is adorned with vibrant yellow, red, and blue plumes, paired with a gilded visor, reflecting its likely ceremonial use or association with nobility. - The **bottom right helmet** showcases an intricate green and white plume arrangement, highlighting its decorative and symbolic role. The artist’s use of vibrant colours and delicate shading brings the helmets to life, emphasizing their polished metal surfaces and ornate embellishments. Each piece speaks to the craftsmanship and pageantry of European knights, especially in tournaments and ceremonies. Condition: This lithograph is in excellent condition with clear margins, vivid hand-colouring, and minor age-toning that adds historical character without detracting from the visual appeal. Perfect for collectors of medieval armor, chivalric art, or historical prints, this lithograph serves as a beautiful and educational addition to any curated collection, study, or display. It celebrates the intersection of functionality, artistry, and symbolism in knightly traditions.
