EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1802 depicts a thrilling scene of two knights engaged in a fierce duel during a tourney. The image showcases the chivalry and bravery associated with medieval times, as these armored warriors clash with lances in hand. The knight on the left stands out with his crimson skirt over his suit of plate armor, adorned with three matching plumes on his helmet. His opponent, positioned on the right, skillfully parries his adversary's thrust using his own lance. The intensity and precision of their movements are beautifully captured by Jost Amman, who based this engraving on a woodcut from Ritterliche Reutter Kunst in 1584.
