Anticipation

Medieval jousting knight in armour art print

Anticipation Ref: AN

Lance in hand, attention fully focused on his opponent at the far end of the lists, a knight - in full armour, crowned with his fantastic heraldic crest - inwardly battles to control his, and his horse's, excitement and nerves, split seconds before this moment of apparent calm explodes into a blur of adrenalin pumping action.....

The crest - a harpy - is that of Sir John Astley, a renowned jouster of the mid-15th Century, and the armour is based on English tomb effigies of the period.

Giclée Print published from an oil painting by Graham Turner.

Each print individually printed to order on very high quality heavyweight paper, and then signed on the border by the artist.

The Jousting Artist

Graham Turner took part in his first joust in 2004, and his experiences since then have had a dramatic influence on his paintings which convey a sense of immediacy and realism that can only come from such a deep understanding and involvement in this dramatic medieval 'extreme sport'.
