About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Knights in Aftermath of a Broken Lance Duel
This original, hand-coloured lithograph from 1842 provides a rare, intimate perspective on the dramatic climax of a medieval joust. It is drawn from the celebrated publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, printed in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. The artist, Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, and the historian, Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, worked together on this volume to depict and contextualize the grandeur, ritual, and martial codes of European chivalry.
In this scene, two fully armoured knights, still mounted upon their sturdy warhorses, momentarily pause amid the scattered remains of their lances and shattered visors. The discarded pieces of armor and broken weaponry strewn across the ground evoke the intensity of the recent engagement, where splintered lances and dented helms testify to the raw impact of the joust. The horses, portrayed with meticulous anatomical accuracy and subtle shading, enhance the sense of realism and movement. Each finely painted detail—from the delicate linework of the armor’s fluting to the understated tones of the steel—reflects the lithographer’s skill and dedication.
The print survives in good condition for its age, with only light toning and faint creasing along the fold line, all consistent with its 19th-century origin. The vibrant hand-applied colours remain remarkably strong, highlighting the richness of the armour’s design and the authenticity of the historical portrayal. Perfect for collectors of medieval art, historical costume, or equestrian subjects, this lithograph is a captivating artifact that encapsulates both the spectacle and the gravity of a knightly tournament. It will add depth, narrative, and visual interest to any refined collection.

Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress, 1842
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress
Description: This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph presents a fully armoured knight mounted on a similarly armoured horse, highlighting the grandeur of medieval tournament culture. Drawn from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the plate exemplifies the craftsmanship of tournament armor and equestrian regalia.
The knight is clad in articulated plate armor, intricately engraved and polished to perfection, reflecting the martial prowess and status of a noble warrior. He holds a ceremonial poleaxe, often seen in jousts or tournaments as both a practical weapon and a symbol of chivalry. His plumed helmet, adorned with vibrant red and yellow feathers, adds an element of spectacle befitting a medieval tournament.
The horse is draped in a richly patterned caparison, a cloth covering adorned with intricate geometric designs, likely symbolizing the knight's heraldic identity. The ornate horse armor...
