This print showcases a magnificent pageant sleigh in parade, dating back to the 17th century. Created by the German School, this exquisite artwork combines pen and ink with watercolor and washes, resulting in a visually stunning piece that is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The image depicts a scene from Nuremberg's Album of Tournaments and Parades, possibly featuring Bellerophon riding Pegasus as they confront the fearsome chimera. The mythical elements are beautifully intertwined with European costumes and horse-drawn elegance, creating an enchanting spectacle. As winter sets the stage for this grand celebration, participants clad in elaborate attire fill the streets of Nuremberg. Illuminated manuscripts capture every detail of this tournament book, showcasing jousting contests and parades that were once held during this era. The winged mythological creatures add an air of mystique to the scene while symbolizing power and bravery.
