About the Item

Title: Pas d’Armes Jousting Scene with French and English Knights, circa 1390 Description: This richly hand-colored lithograph vividly illustrates a historical jousting encounter known as a "pas d’armes"—a formalized chivalric combat that took place during the late 14th century. It is Plate No. 4 from the renowned 1845 publication "Costumes Historiques des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe Siècles," designed by P. Mercuri and accompanied by historical commentary by Camille Bonnard. The scene draws from a documented episode in 1390, where three French knights challenged all comers, particularly English knights, in a thirty-day contest of arms held between Saint-Inglevert and Calais, as chronicled by Jean Froissart. The composition centers on a dramatic clash between two mounted knights, one striking his opponent with a powerful lance blow. The richly detailed costumes and heraldic symbols reflect the vivid pageantry and seriousness with which such events were treated. The victorious knight bears a red tunic over steel armor and a white shield marked with two red stripes. His horse is draped in a white-and-blue caparison with gold ornamentation, and his helmet is adorned with white feathers. His squire, in a green surcoat with red sleeves and black bonnet, stands by his richly dressed horse. The opposing knight, now recoiling from the impact, carries a white shield marked with a blue stripe and three gold stars. His helmet features a golden dragon crest, and his horse is red, with a blue bridle and gold armor. Behind them, three vermilion tents are seen, representing the original pavilions erected by the French knights as they awaited challengers. Spectators are gathered in the background beneath a ceremonial canopy, while heralds in emblazoned surcoats manage the official aspects of the event. The foreground adds a touch of realism and charm, showing the tournament marshal in a half-blue, half-red outfit chasing a dog, providing contrast to the structured violence of the joust with a light, almost theatrical moment. This juxtaposition of tension, color, and historical narrative makes the print not only decorative but also educational. Condition: Very good overall. Strong, clean hand-coloring and crisp lines. Slight margin toning and a few minor foxing marks, typical for its age but not distracting from the image. Framing Tips: For a museum-quality presentation, consider a gold-leaf or walnut frame with a double mat in ivory and soft red or blue to highlight the knights' vibrant costumes. Use archival materials and UV-filtering glass to preserve the colors and texture. This print works beautifully as a statement piece or in a themed collection of medieval or historical art.
