EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 12th-century image, we witness the majestic spectacle of Sir Richard Fitzhugh, Standard Bearer of England, proudly riding his horse in the heat of battle. Dated to the year 1141, this historical print transports us back to a time when chivalry and courage were the order of the day. Richard, a noble knight, dons an impressive suit of armor that covers him from head to toe. The intricate details of his armor, from the embossed patterns to the meticulously crafted helm, speak to the skill and artistry of the blacksmiths and armorers of the era. The rich, vibrant colors of his surcoat, emblazoned with the cross of St. George, flutter in the wind as he rides, signifying his unwavering loyalty to the English crown. Atop his steed, Richard holds aloft both the English flag and a shield, emblazoned with the same emblem. His horse, sensing the urgency of the situation, rears up, its muscles tensed and ready for action. The standard bearer's role was of great importance in medieval warfare, as the flag served as a symbol of unity and inspiration for the troops. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history, where knights and their mounts charged into battle, their courage and determination etched in the annals of time. The meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the armor to the horse's mane, brings the scene to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of a bygone era.
