EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the 19th century takes us back to the thrilling world of medieval tournaments. The image showcases a quintain, a popular jousting game in which riders on horseback aim their lances at a rotating target. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to an era filled with chivalry and bravery. In the foreground, two men clad in armor sit atop majestic horses, ready for action. Their focused expressions reveal their determination as they prepare to engage in this exhilarating sport. The vibrant colours bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on their shields and helmets to the flowing manes of their loyal steeds. The quintain itself stands tall in the background, its rotating arm challenging these skilled riders with each pass. It symbolizes both skill and danger, offering an exciting spectacle for spectators gathered around. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides us with a glimpse into medieval culture and traditions. It reminds us of the importance placed on physical prowess and honor during those times. As we admire this artwork, let our imagination soar back centuries ago when knights rode fearlessly into battle and tournaments were grand spectacles that captivated all who witnessed them.
