Heraldic Motive by Josef von Divéky RE204078

🏇 “Heraldic Motive” by Josef von Divéky

A Riot of Colour. A March of Heralds. A Dream in Ink and Armour.

🎨 Visual Description – A Tapestry of Triumph

What do we see here? Ah—prepare thyself.

Three knights thunder across a vivid blue field on horseback, cloaked not in mud and sweat but in dazzling harlequin-patterned livery. Their caparisons (those magnificent horse robes) gleam in gold, black, emerald, and crimson—a checkerboard of aristocratic symbolism and medieval swagger.

Each figure—mounted atop powerfully stylised warhorses—is rendered in Josef von Divéky’s unmistakable style: part medieval manuscript, part Art Deco fantasy. One knight rides a chestnut steed bedecked in yellow and black feathers, another in green and jet diamonds. Their shields, lances, and helmets echo the symmetrical splendour of heraldry as both military code and high visual drama.

Flanking the main scene on both sides are static sentinel knights, each standing guard beneath hypnotically patterned vertical banners. These soldiers—stoic, staring—are swathed in intense vertical motifs of orange, teal, black, and scarlet, forming a frame of armed solemnity to the central burst of motion.

The background is abstract, a surreal, electric blue sky above a boldly geometric ground that shatters all notion of realism. This is not a battle scene—this is a theatre of noble forms.
