In this engraving from the 12th century, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling tournament of armoured knights engaged in combat. The scene is filled with anticipation and skill as these brave warriors prepare to clash on horseback. Amidst the chaos, our attention is immediately drawn to the knight on the far side of the jousting field. With his shattered lance held high, he valiantly fights against an inevitable fate - being unhorsed. His determination shines through his armor, even as he faces defeat.
