EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the medieval era, where knights trained rigorously for the exhilarating sport of jousting. Titled "Tilting at a quintain" it showcases an extraordinary revolving effigy of a knight, serving as both target and training partner. The lithograph was originally published in London around 1880 by Paul Lacroix, capturing the essence of Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages. Derived from a 15th-century miniature found in the Chroniques de Charlemagne, this image transports us to a time when chivalry reigned supreme. In this scene, we witness aspiring knights charging fearlessly on horseback towards their rotating opponent. With lance in hand and determination etched upon their faces, these soldiers-in-training epitomize bravery and skill. The setting is reminiscent of an army encampment near a majestic castle or fortification; its walls standing tall against the backdrop of medieval life. As they practice relentlessly under watchful eyes, these knights hone their techniques for future battles and tournaments. Through this photograph's intricate details and historical significance, we are reminded of the rich tapestry that is our past. It serves as both an educational tool and a mesmerizing piece of art that captures our imagination with visions of honor-bound warriors engaged in thrilling combat during one of history's most fascinating periods – the Middle Ages.
