EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases French knights in the 13th century, adorned in magnificent armor and wearing shoulderplates or ailettes with their coat of arms. The image captures the essence of medieval chivalry and the grandeur of these valiant warriors. The knights are depicted wearing chainmail armor, tunics, and helmets, ready to defend their honor on horseback. Their noble steeds are also clothed with an armorial caparison, further emphasizing their status as esteemed members of society. The scene is taken from a manuscript housed in Rouen library called "Metamorphosis" by Ovid. This handcolored lithograph was created by Villain based on an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel for his collection titled "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France". It offers a glimpse into ancient history and provides valuable insights into the fashion and weaponry used during that era. As we admire this artwork, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness the bravery and splendor of these French knights. They represent a pivotal period in history when honor, loyalty, and valor were held dear. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
