About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Duel with Spiked Shields Description: This original hand-coloured lithograph is a captivating scene from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', a celebrated 19th-century work on the history and customs of knighthood. Created by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and historically annotated by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the print brings to life two fully-armoured knights locked in fierce combat with massive, spiked shields. The scene exudes dramatic tension and showcases the pageantry and martial skill of Medieval chivalry. The knights are depicted in exquisite detail, clad in richly decorated suits of armour, their helmets adorned with elaborate plumes. The spiked shields are particularly striking, featuring intricate patterns in vibrant reds and blues, hand-applied to highlight their ornate craftsmanship. A fallen weapon at their feet suggests the intensity of the duel, while the precise rendering of shadows and postures adds a dynamic realism to the composition. Condition: This print remains in excellent condition for its age, with minimal signs of wear and clean margins. The colours are vivid and expertly preserved, accentuating the fine artistry of this rare piece. A must-have for collectors of knightly art, historical prints, or enthusiasts of Medieval combat, this lithograph offers both visual impact and a rich historical narrative. Perfect for framing and display.
