EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print transports us back to the Carolingian era, immersing us in a thrilling jousting match between two knights. Printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1498, this exquisite piece of early printing showcases the artistry and skill of the French School from the 15th century. The scene is filled with tension as these chivalrous warriors clash against each other, their lances aimed at victory. The air is thick with anticipation as spectators gather around, eagerly spectating this grand display of chivalry and bravery. Blood spills from wounds inflicted upon these valiant knights, reminding us of the inherent dangers that come with such noble pursuits. Despite their injuries, they continue to fight on, determined to win honor for themselves and their monarch. Intricately engraved armor adorns these soldiers' bodies, serving as both protection and symbol of status. Their wounded limbs bear witness to the harsh reality of battle and conflict. This print captures not only a physical confrontation but also embodies the spirit of medieval warfare - a clash between courage and strength where winning meant more than mere victory; it represented an affirmation of one's worthiness as a knight. Through its detailed depiction and historical significance as an incunabulum (early printed book), this artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient battles while offering insight into our enduring admiration for tales of heroism and valor.
