EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 15th century and the grandeur of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I's tournament at the Castle of Luxembourg. The procession of mounted knights in full armor, led by drummers and trumpeters, is a breathtaking sight. Each knight is proudly displayed in his unique and intricately designed helm and caparison, their horses adorned with richly decorated trappings. Maximilian I, known for his love of chivalry and the arts, organized these tournaments to showcase the skills and prowess of the knights of the Holy Roman Empire. The event was a spectacle of pageantry and grandeur, attracting nobles from across Europe. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Alexandre de Labordes' "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche" (Picturesque Journey through Austria), published in 1822, and later included in Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and magnificence of the medieval tournament. The meticulous detail in the illustration, produced by Migliavacca, highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of the armor and the horses' trappings, transporting us to a time when chivalry and honor reigned supreme.
