EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval craftsmanship - the Tournament or Cavalry Shield (Targe), believed to be from early 15th century Austria. The shield, made of wood and leather, is adorned with intricate silver paintwork and gesso decoration, displaying the exquisite artistry prevalent during this period. The shield's design reflects its purpose as a symbol of heraldic identity and military prowess. Its blackletter script and gothic script writing further emphasize its historical significance. The coat of arms featured on the shield signifies the noble lineage associated with jousting tournaments, where knights would engage in thrilling combat to showcase their skills. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this object serves as a tangible link to our rich heritage. It transports us back to an era when warfare was not only about brute force but also about chivalry and honor. This artifact reminds us that even in times of conflict, there existed an appreciation for beauty and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are reminded of the skillful hands that crafted it centuries ago - hands whose names have been lost to time but whose legacy lives on through their work. Let us cherish these remnants from history as they provide glimpses into our past and inspire awe for those who came before us.
