EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Chivalric Spectacle: A 12th Century Joust Outside the City Gates" This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario's work in 1844, provides a vivid glimpse into the medieval world of knights, chivalry, and romance. The second bas-relief of a 12th century sarcophagus is brought to life in this illustration, as we witness an exhilarating jousting tournament taking place just outside the city gates. The engraving showcases a thrilling scene of two knights, clad in full armour, charging towards each other on their powerful steeds. The tension in the air is palpable as the spectators and supporters eagerly watch the duel unfold. The city walls loom in the background, serving as a reminder of the safety and security that the knights are protecting. The illustration is a testament to the rich history of chivalry and the romantic ideals of the medieval period. Knights were revered figures, and their skills in combat were celebrated with great fanfare. The elaborate costumes and intricate details in the engraving further highlight the grandeur and opulence of the era. Giulio Ferrario, a renowned Italian artist and scholar, meticulously documented ancient and modern costumes of various peoples in his extensive work. This engraving, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval knights and their chivalric pursuits. The handcoloured copperplate technique adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical artwork or medieval studies. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of chivalry, the medieval period, or the art of the 19th century.
