EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 15th-century scene, we witness the intricate protocol of a tournament challenge in all its grandeur. A seated prince, adorned in a scarlet hood and doublet, presides over the event as he gracefully hands a sword to the kneeling king of arms. Accompanied by two heralds, their presence adds an air of solemnity and importance to the occasion. The prince's regal attire is complemented by his cracows - long pointed shoes that were fashionable during that era. Meanwhile, the king of arms stands proudly in his coat of arms embellished with ermine fur and dons a green tunic along with poulaines boots and spurs. The dais upon which they stand is beautifully decorated with the princess's coat of arms, symbolizing her support for her chosen champion. This illustration comes from Barthelemy d'Eyck's work featured in Rene of Anjou's "Tournament Book" published in 1488. Handcolored by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by text written by Camille Bonnard, this lithograph captures not only the visual splendor but also provides valuable insights into historical costumes from the 12th to 15th centuries. This print serves as a window into an age where chivalry reigned supreme and tournaments were highly esteemed events showcasing bravery, skill, and honor. It allows us to marvel at the elaborate etiquette surrounding such challenges while appreciating the artistry involved in preserving these historical moments for generations to come.
