This German hand-painted stained glass hanging window panel, dating from the 1950s, presents a richly detailed scene directly inspired by the Tournament Book 'The Young Ones' (1529). Crafted in the stained glass technique, the central composition features a warm beige background with subtle marbling, against which two knights in full armor charge with lances on horseback. The plate armor is rendered in deep, glossy greys and blacks with precise linework, giving substance and articulation to the joints. The horses’ elaborate heraldic coverings draw the eye with vibrant reds, golds, and greens, contrasting matte and semi-gloss finishes for historic authenticity. A calligraphic yellow-brown banner with ornate swirling ribbons crowns the scene, all enclosed within a simple matte-black metal frame with visible soldered corners. The panel is suspended from two sturdy metal chains. Condition: excellent, with vivid original colors and only a discreet natural patina along the edges. This panel channels the spirit of German late Gothic Revival and historicism of the mid-20th century, when fascination with medieval forms and chivalric rituals provided both continuity and solace in the aftermath of war. The meticulous composition, attention to script, and heraldic detail evoke the solemn drama of tournament narratives. As sunlight
