EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Knights in armour with helmet, crest and mantling" takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in a world of chivalry and honor. Created by Robert Benard, this print showcases knights adorned in intricately designed armor for a tournament. The image depicts two noble knights from the Dukes of Brittany and Bourbon engaging in a jousting match. One knight, Chevalier de Salvaing, stands proudly wearing his armor complete with a volet or lambrequin. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element of their attire symbolizes their social status and identity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where knighthood was revered and tournaments were grand spectacles that showcased not only skill but also nobility. The coat of arms displayed on their armor further emphasizes their lineage and allegiance. This engraving is part of the heraldry section from Denis Diderot's Encyclopedie published in Paris during 1763. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on tradition, honor, and military prowess during that time period. With its meticulous craftsmanship and rich symbolism, this print invites us to appreciate the artistry behind medieval warfare while offering glimpses into the intricate social fabric of society at that time.
