About the Item
Title: Knight in Full Tournament Armor on an Elaborately Caparisoned Horse
Description: This stunning hand-coloured lithograph features a knight in elaborate full plate tournament armor, seated atop a richly adorned horse. The knight's steel armor is meticulously decorated with golden embellishments, showcasing intricate patterns of scrollwork and filigree, reflecting the opulence and pageantry of chivalric tournaments during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The helmet, crowned with an impressive arrangement of yellow and black feathers, symbolizes status and heraldic pride. The horse is equally impressive, draped in a highly detailed caparison that matches the knight's armor, adorned with golden and grey patterns, tassels, and heraldic shields.
The knight holds a lance, a signature weapon for jousting tournaments, while the horse’s bridle and chamfron (head armor) are carefully detailed, combining practicality with ornate aesthetics. The combination of the polished steel, golden ornamentation, and vibrant feathers highlights the importance of visual spectacle in knightly tournaments, where display and symbolism were as critical as martial skill.
This lithograph, sourced from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, exemplifies the grandeur of medieval jousts and knightly tournaments. It vividly captures the artistry, wealth, and prestige associated with the knights of the era.
Condition: This lithograph is in very good condition, with vibrant hand-colouring and detailed line work intact, despite some central creasing that does not detract from the visual impact.
This is an ideal addition for collectors of medieval art, historical armor, or equestrian-themed prints, offering a glimpse into the celebrated tradition of chivalry and the tournament culture of Europe.

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.
