German Joust of Peace

Ritterturniere um 1512, vers 1512–1515

This is a painting of a jousting scene. The image depicts two armored figures involved in a joust, with both mounted on horses. One of the figures appears to be falling off their horse, which is clad in blue-and-white striped trappings, while the other, mounted on a red-clad horse, remains in an upright position. The tipped-over figure is shown head-down with their legs in the air, emphasizing the impact of the lance. The scene captures a moment of action, marked by dynamic movement and contrasting colors. The painting style suggests a historical or illustrative approach, likely aimed to convey a narrative scene.
