Anticipation

Medieval jousting knight in armour art print

Anticipation Canvas Print Ref: AN-139

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.

Published from an original oil painting by Graham Turner.

Individually printed on good quality canvas before being stretched on wooden stretcher bars, just like the original oil painting, and then varnished for protection.

Overall canvas size 20"x 20" (51cm x 51cm)

Note that canvas prints have no white border - this is the overall size of the canvas on its wooden stretcher bars and the image extends to the edge.

Each canvas is individually signed (on the reverse, as there is no border) by the artist, Graham Turner.

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'.
