Hand-Coloured Litho of Knights in Jousting Armor on Caparisoned Horses, 1842

About the Item

Title: Knights in Jousting Armor on Caparisoned Horses Description: This hand-colored lithograph vividly portrays two knights clad in full jousting armor, each mounted on elaborately caparisoned horses prepared for tournament combat. The knights are adorned in polished steel plate armor with detailed embellishments and vibrant blue feathered plumes atop their helmets, symbolizing heraldic identity and grandeur. The horses, essential companions in medieval tournaments, are heavily armored and draped with blue and gold barding that reflects both protection and pageantry. The detailed chamfrons (head armor) showcase craftsmanship in combining practicality with ornate design, underscoring the importance of visual display during chivalric contests. The scene captures the dramatic tension of the joust, with the knights in a poised and dynamic stance, one brandishing a lance while the other prepares to strike. Their posture emphasizes the discipline, strength, and precision required in medieval tournaments. This lithograph, taken from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, beautifully encapsulates the splendor of medieval European tournaments, where martial prowess met artistic elegance. It remains a quintessential depiction of knightly combat and chivalric culture, ideal for collectors of medieval art and historical equestrian imagery. Condition: The lithograph is in excellent condition with vivid hand-coloring and sharp line work, though natural creases reflect its age and authenticity.
