German Joust of Peace

Ritterturniere um 1512, circa 1512–1515

This is a painting of a jousting scene with fallen horses and knights. The image depicts two armored knights and their horses lying on the ground, seemingly having fallen from a jousting match. The knights are dressed in detailed, ornate armor and vivid clothing, predominantly in blues, reds, and whites, with plumes and exaggerated styles characteristic of renaissance tournaments. The horses are also dressed in matching caparisons, and one can see the lance or jousting pole extending across the image. The illustration includes faint textural marks and a script in the upper right corner, resembling a medieval manuscript illustration.
