About the Item

The Jousting Tournament: Knights in Combat Description: This hand-colored lithograph showcases an intense moment in a medieval jousting tournament, with two knights charging at each other, lances colliding and splintering mid-air. The composition masterfully conveys the power, precision, and pageantry of chivalric tournaments. The knight on the left is clad in ornate black armor accented with gold trim, mounted on a horse draped in vibrant red caparison adorned with a cherub and symbolic heraldic motifs. The bold red plumes crowning both the helmet and horse's chamfron add dramatic flair to the knight's presence. On the right, the opposing knight wears gold-accented armor atop a richly adorned horse in a blue caparison. The heraldic designs, paired with blue plumes and intricate detailing, underscore the contrast between the two combatants while symbolizing familial or noble allegiances. The scene perfectly captures the climactic moment of a joust, with lances striking shields and shattering upon impact, a common feature of tournaments designed to display skill while limiting fatalities. This plate is taken from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. It beautifully encapsulates the grandeur of medieval knightly tournaments, where chivalric tradition merged with spectacle and artistry. Condition: The lithograph remains in exceptional condition, with vivid hand-coloring that highlights the dynamic contrast of red and blue caparisons and intricate armor details. Natural folds and faint creases add to its authenticity and historical charm.
