EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the medieval era as we witness a knight entering the lists. The image, created by Paul Lacroix in 1870, is based on a wood engraving after a miniature in Le Livre des Tournois du Roi Rene. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as the knight, mounted on his majestic steed, prepares to engage in combat or accept a challenge. His armor glistens under the sunlight while his horse exudes strength and grace. Behind him stands an impressive fortification with towering walls and a moat guarded by a drawbridge. As the knight makes his way towards the lists, he is accompanied by other riders who form part of an enthralling procession. A banner flutters proudly above them as they ride towards their destiny. In the distance, we can hear faint sounds of music emanating from a trumpet being played by one of the horsemen. This print not only captures the essence of battle but also showcases various elements of medieval life - from architecture to war strategies. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of this fascinating period. With its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail, this print transports us into another time where chivalry reigned supreme and knights were revered for their bravery on the battlefield. It reminds us of our rich history and invites us to delve deeper into the arts and culture that shaped our world centuries ago.
