EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the top panel of a box with a jousting scene, dating back to the late 14th century. Crafted from exquisite ivory, this artwork measures 9.8x17.6x0.7 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The intricate details depicted on this piece transport viewers back to the medieval period, where chivalry and honor reigned supreme. The jousting scene comes alive with knights clad in armor, wielding spears as they charge towards each other on their majestic horses. Shields emblazoned with coats of arms add an extra layer of symbolism and identity to these brave warriors. Amidst the action-filled tournament, one can spot a woman among the spectators, showcasing her feminine grace amidst this masculine world dominated by men. This inclusion hints at the presence of noble ladies who played significant roles during this era. Adding further depth to this historical tableau are musicians playing instruments that fill the air with melodious tunes, creating an enchanting atmosphere for both participants and observers alike. As a remarkable example of French artistry from the 14th century, this ivory masterpiece offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich cultural heritage during medieval times.
