Magnificent Jousting Tournament Print with Handcoloured Knights and Horses, 1842

About the Item

Magnificent Jousting Tournament Print with Hand-Coloured Knights and Horses, 19th c. This striking original hand-coloured print, likely created in the mid-19th century, captures the grandeur and spectacle of a medieval jousting tournament in vivid detail. Two armored knights, poised in combat, charge toward each other on richly adorned steeds. Their lances clash mid-air, perfectly capturing the dynamic energy and drama of the tournament. The horses, draped in vibrant caparisons—one in brilliant gold with delicate silver motifs, the other in deep magenta with intricate golden scrollwork—reflect the opulence and pageantry of medieval chivalry. Rendered with exceptional precision, the print showcases the knights' armor, complete with ornate feathered crests, intricate patterns, and gilded highlights that bring a sense of realism and artistry to the scene. The hand-colouring enhances the visual appeal, with fine shading and a palette of bold, rich hues that emphasize the composition's elegance. Produced by skilled artisans of the 19th century, such prints were often part of larger works on armory, tournaments, or historical costume, valued for their detailed craftsmanship. The print is in good condition for its age, with only minor imperfections expected in a piece of this period, such as light wear along the edges. This rare and beautifully executed artwork is ideal for collectors of historical prints, medieval enthusiasts, or those seeking a distinguished and colorful addition to their collection. It serves as both a testament to artistic skill and an enduring window into the splendor of knightly tournaments.
