About the Item

19th-Century Hand-Coloured Jousting Print: Knights on Striped and Starry Caparisoned Horses This splendid original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval-inspired tournaments, where chivalry, pageantry, and martial skill converged in a grand spectacle. It is sourced from the esteemed publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. Under the artistic vision of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and the historical expertise of Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, this work sought to authentically portray the regalia, customs, and dramatic encounters of European chivalry. Here, two armored knights face one another, each mounted on a magnificently adorned horse. The knight to the left rides a steed draped in vibrant yellow and black stripes, reflecting a bold heraldic identity. On the right, the opposing horse’s rich blue caparison is adorned with delicate golden stars, evoking night-sky symbolism or heraldic significance. The knights’ lances are shattered, their pieces lying strewn beneath the horses, suggesting that the joust has reached a decisive moment. One knight raises his hand, possibly signaling victory, surrender, or a ceremonial salute. The lithograph’s hand-applied coloration remains remarkably fresh and vivid. Minor age-appropriate toning and subtle creases attest to its genuine antique character without detracting from the clarity or impact of the image. This rare piece will captivate collectors of medieval and Renaissance arts, heraldry enthusiasts, and those who appreciate historical equestrian imagery. Its fine detailing, dramatic narrative, and strong visual presence make it an ideal addition to any refined collection or interior display dedicated to the romantic age of knighthood and noble competition.
