The Knight, 1466
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the chivalrous world of the 15th century. Created in 1870 by an unknown artist, this wood engraving beautifully captures a scene from medieval times. In the image, we see a noble knight engrossed in reading a letter. His attention is focused solely on its contents as he sits with his armor-clad body and majestic lion companion nearby. The intricate details of his drapery and costume showcase the craftsmanship of the era, while his flowing hair adds an element of romanticism to the composition. This print is based on a miniature engraved by The Master of 1466, found in a manuscript housed at Bibliotheque Imperiale in Paris. It was included as an illustration in Paul Lacroix's book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of Renaissance" published in London during that same year. Through this print, we are transported into a world where knights were revered for their bravery and honor. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of medieval life. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be captivated by its monochrome beauty and imagine ourselves immersed in this fascinating period known as the Middle Ages.
