EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the medieval era with this image of an ancient place of tournament near Senlis, France, circa 1500. This evocative print, dating back to November 1792, transports us to a bygone age of chivalry, knights, and grandeur. The image showcases a magnificent European building, its Gothic architecture a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the time. The structure, adorned with intricate carvings and towering spires, stands proudly against the backdrop of a rolling green landscape. At the heart of the scene lies the tournament ground, where the thrill of competition and the pageantry of the age come alive. Horses and riders, dressed in armor and heraldic livery, prepare for the contest. The tension in the air is palpable as they await the signal to begin. The tournament, a popular sport during the Middle Ages, was a grand spectacle that brought together the nobility and common folk alike. It was a display of skill, strength, and courage, as well as a means of settling disputes and strengthening alliances. This image, captured by the skilled lens of Terry Parker and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the tournament, and to marvel at the rich history and culture of medieval Europe.
