Solemn Joust on London Bridge, late 15th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the Victorian era. Painted by Richard Beavis in 1886, it depicts a historic jousting match between two prominent figures of the time. The scene showcases David de Lindsay, Earl of Crawford, facing off against Lord John de Welles, Ambassador of Richard III. This intense battle must have taken place sometime between 1483 and 1495. Interestingly, the victor portrayed in the painting bears the arms of John de Wells, despite historical records indicating that Lindsay was actually victorious. Intriguingly set against the backdrop of the River Thames and Tower of London, this artwork provides a glimpse into both medieval England's grandeur and its fierce competitive spirit. The bridge itself stands as an architectural marvel while serving as witness to this noble contest. Beavis masterfully captures every detail - from the armored knights astride their powerful horses to their determined expressions hidden beneath helmets. The audience watches with bated breath under an awning as these brave men engage in combat for honor and glory. This stunning piece not only highlights Beavis' artistic skill but also serves as a testament to history's enduring fascination with chivalry and pageantry. It invites viewers to imagine themselves amidst this dramatic event on London Bridge during one fateful day in late 15th-century England
