I'm thinking of doing a project involving an edge around a battle mat. I'd like to fill the edge with artwork involving medieval battles, knights, sieges and what-not. I know there is a lot of great modern depictions of knights and battle, but I would prefer art contemporary to the period. Is are there any good sources for this online without copyright issues? Failing that are there good books with full-color illustrations I can get from the library? |

depending on how "medieval" you want to be, the Bayeaux tapestry might fit the bill. It's got battles, sieges, etc., plus it is in a handy strip format. And it's out of copyright… |

The best source of contemporary medieval artwork is probably illuminated manuscripts. Plenty of examples online. There is a TMP member who goes by the name of Druzhina (not sure of spelling) who has posted loads of this sort of stuff here! |
