The exhibition catalog explores the origins of chivalry, the role of knights in combat, and the various chivalric codes that developed around the world. The representation of the East, with particular attention to Iraq and Syria, will be contrasted with France and Spain for the Western part. Discover how the spirit of chivalry spread around the world and how some of its codes persist today through a rare collection of more than 130 works from the 10th to the early 16th century, including spectacular weapons, exceptional armor, and precious manuscripts. The exhibition has a dual perspective. It is part of one of the major axes of the Louvre Abu Dhabi's scientific and cultural policy, which aims to highlight the intersections between cultures, without denying differences or oppositions. It is also part of the Emirati museum's "Art and Society" season.
