EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ms 3479 fol. 516 And so he pulled the lance from the dying knight" we are transported back to the enchanting world of medieval legends and chivalry. The image captures a poignant moment from the Livre de Messire Lancelot du Lac, a 15th-century manuscript housed in Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal, Paris. The scene depicts a brave knight, mortally wounded and lying on the ground with his loyal steed standing nearby. With great determination and compassion, another figure is seen pulling out the lance that caused such grievous harm to his fallen comrade. The atmosphere is filled with tension as we witness both sorrow for the injured knight's fate and admiration for his companion's selfless act. This artwork beautifully portrays themes of sacrifice, honor, and camaraderie prevalent in Arthurian legends. It serves as a reminder of the valor displayed by knights of the Round Table who dedicated their lives to protect their king and uphold justice. The intricate details rendered on vellum by an anonymous French artist showcase not only their artistic skill but also provide insight into medieval medical practices. This image offers us a glimpse into how injuries were treated during that era while highlighting our enduring fascination with historical medicine. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us an extraordinary piece that transports us through time, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
