EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the grandeur and excitement of the Tournament held to celebrate the entrance of Queen Isabella of Bavaria into Paris in 1389. The image, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, transports us back to the medieval world of chivalry, romance, and pageantry. Queen Isabella, dressed in rich robes and adorned with jewels, rides elegantly on horseback, surrounded by her retinue. The tournament, a display of knightly skills and valor, is in full swing in the background. Knights on horseback engage in a jousting match, their lances raised high, ready to clash. Spectators, dressed in various medieval costumes, cheer and cheer from the sidelines. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricately designed costumes to the realistic depiction of the horses and their riders, bring the scene to life. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. This tournament was a significant event in European history, marking the entrance of Queen Isabella into Paris after her marriage to King Charles VI of France. It was a symbol of unity and peace between the two powerful European kingdoms, and a celebration of the enduring tradition of chivalry and courtly love. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the medieval period and the enduring allure of the romantic ideals of chivalry and knighthood. It is a must-have for any collection of medieval art or history, and a beautiful addition to any home or office.
