Painting Description
Ms. fr. 2692 fol.47v-48r, titled "Preparations for a Tournament," is an exquisite manuscript illumination from a treatise authored by René of Anjou, also known as René I, Duke of Anjou and King of Naples. René of Anjou (1409-1480) was a notable figure in the 15th century, not only for his political and military endeavors but also for his contributions to the arts and literature. His treatise on tournaments, often referred to as "Le Livre des Tournois" or "The Book of Tournaments," is a comprehensive guide to the chivalric practices and ceremonial aspects of medieval tournaments.
The folios 47v-48r of Ms. fr. 2692 are particularly significant as they depict the meticulous preparations required for a tournament, a grand event that was both a martial exercise and a social spectacle in medieval Europe. The illumination captures the vibrant and detailed scene of knights and their attendants engaged in various preparatory activities. The manuscript, housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, is a testament to the elaborate pageantry and the cultural importance of tournaments during the late Middle Ages.
René of Anjou's treatise is not merely a manual but also a reflection of the chivalric ideals and the courtly culture of his time. The illustrations, including those on folios 47v-48r, are richly detailed, showcasing the armor, heraldry, and the intricate logistics involved in organizing such an event. The manuscript provides valuable insights into the martial traditions, the social hierarchy, and the aesthetic sensibilities of the 15th-century European nobility.
The "Preparations for a Tournament" scene is a vivid portrayal of the anticipation and the elaborate preparations that preceded the actual combat. It underscores the significance of tournaments as a means of displaying martial prowess, reinforcing social bonds, and celebrating the chivalric code. Through this manuscript, René of Anjou has left an enduring legacy that continues to offer a window into the medieval world of chivalry and knighthood.
