EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Middle Ages, specifically the 15th century, as we witness a knight engaging in the age-old practice of tilting at a quintain. The image is inspired by an illustration found in Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published in London around 1880. In this scene, we see a revolving effigy of a knight mounted on his trusty steed. The knight is fully armored, ready to showcase his skills and prowess with lance and sword. This medieval form of training involved charging towards the rotating target known as a quintain, which was designed to simulate combat situations. The attention to detail in this print transports us into an era where chivalry reigned supreme. It beautifully captures the essence of knights practicing their techniques diligently, honing their abilities for battle or tournaments. Ken Welsh's expert photography perfectly preserves this historical moment for our admiration today. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how important these practices were for knights during that time period – not only did they serve as physical training but also as demonstrations of bravery and honor. This print serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for history enthusiasts who wish to delve into the fascinating world of medieval times.
