Jousting Knights at a Tournament, 14th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite handcolored illustration drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, showcasing the grandeur and pageantry of medieval jousting tournaments. This image transports us back in time to the 14th century, an era of chivalry, honor, and courage. At the heart of the scene, Sir Reginald de Roye and Sir Boucicaut, two esteemed French knights, are locked in a fierce jousting competition. Their determined expressions and focused gazes convey the intensity and excitement of the moment. Both knights are dressed in full armor, their heraldic shields bearing the emblems of their respective houses. To the left, we see Sir Reginald de Roye, his shield emblazoned with a white eagle against a blue background. His lance is raised, poised to strike his opponent. His helmet, adorned with a crest of a white eagle, sits atop his helmet, while his surcoat, emblazoned with the same eagle design, is visible beneath his armor. On the right, Sir Boucicaut, wearing a red and gold surcoat, faces his opponent with unwavering resolve. His shield displays a white cross on a red background, symbolizing the cross of Saint George, the patron saint of England. The roar of the crowd, the clash of steel, and the thunderous applause are all but implied in this stunning depiction of medieval pageantry. This illustration, taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" by Camille Bonnard, published by Levy Fils, Paris, 1860, is a testament to the rich history and fashion of the time. Paul Mercuri's masterful lithography and Camille Bonnard's insightful text bring this scene to life, offering a glimpse into the world of the jousting knights and their grand tournaments of the 14th century.
