EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and grandeur of a medieval tournament. Two knights in shining armor, mounted on majestic horses, engage in a fierce duel with swords. The absence of helmets adds an element of danger to this already perilous combat. The image is based on a woodcut by Jost Amman from his renowned work "Ritterliche Reutter Kunst" published in 1584. It showcases the artistry and skill of Amman as he depicts the intricate details of the knights' armor, targes or shields, and cuirasses or breastplates. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages". Vienna, 1802 enhances this artwork further. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting every stroke and creating a visual feast for viewers. The photograph belongs to a private collection but has been made available through Florilegius. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of medieval warfare but also in its representation of German culture during that period. This remarkable piece transports us back to an era filled with chivalry, honor, and bravery. It serves as a reminder of our rich history while showcasing the timeless appeal and fascination surrounding knights and their epic battles.
