Italian Joust of Peace is a 1514 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two armored knights on horseback, lances in hand, in the middle of a jousting match. The knights' armor and horses are decorated with intricate details, showing the artist's attention to detail. One lance is splintering against the other's armor, adding a sense of action to the scene. This artwork is similar to others of its time, and to learn more, you can look up the museum where it's housed, the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
