About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Print of Armoured Knights in Close-Combat Horseback Duel
This remarkable original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, offers a compelling glimpse into the martial pageantry of Europe’s medieval and Renaissance-inspired tournaments. It comes from the celebrated publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published by Carl Hoffmann in Stuttgart. The artistic interpretation was overseen by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, while historical insights were provided by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. Together, they endeavored to depict the authentic spirit, customs, and imagery of knighthood and its grand spectacles.
In this dramatic scene, two fully armoured knights meet in fierce close combat on horseback. Their warhorses, draped in richly coloured and gilded caparisons, rear and strain as their riders clash with swords. The armor, intricately engraved and highlighted with vibrant hues, reveals meticulous attention to detail: from the subtle patterns on the metal plates to the lavish feather plumes atop their helmets. Every stroke of the artist’s brush brings these figures to life, capturing both the power and the elegance of a knightly duel.
The condition of this print is impressive for its age. Minor age-toning and gentle creasing along the fold lines attest to its genuine historical provenance, yet the colours remain remarkably bright, the figures crisp and well-defined. Such a piece is sure to captivate collectors of medieval art, historical prints, or those simply drawn to the romance and excitement of chivalric tournaments. Acquiring this rare lithograph means securing a tangible connection to a time when honour, skill, and spectacle reigned supreme. It will make a distinguished addition to any refined collection.
