EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history as two knights engage in a fierce duel on horseback. The image, created by Jost Amman in 1802, depicts the knights clad in plate armor and plumed helmets, showcasing their noble status and formidable presence. The intensity of the battle is heightened by the fact that both knights have discarded their weapons - lances and swords lie abandoned on the ground. Undeterred by this setback, they continue to fight with sheer determination and skill. Copied from a woodcut originally featured in Jost Amman's "Ritterliche Reutter Kunst" published in 1584, this handcolored copperplate engraving showcases intricate details of the knights' armor and horses. It offers us a glimpse into an era when chivalry was revered and tournaments were held to showcase bravery and martial prowess. The print is part of Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages" published in Vienna during 1802. Its inclusion reflects its significance as an artistic representation of medieval combat. This striking image not only serves as a testament to human courage but also highlights the importance placed on honor, valor, and skill during this period. It transports viewers back to an age where battles were fought with honor on horseback, reminding us of our rich historical heritage.
