Engraving of a Knight of the Order of St. Stephen in Tuscany, 1792
Description:
This captivating hand-colored engraving depicts a Knight of the Order of St. Stephen, an esteemed Catholic chivalric order established in Tuscany during the 16th century. The knight is portrayed in his ceremonial attire, a long white robe accented with vibrant pink sashes and a prominent red cross emblem symbolizing the order's religious devotion and military heritage. The elaborate detail in the illustration showcases the opulence and significance of this Tuscan order, emphasizing its role in protecting Christianity during the Renaissance.
This engraving is part of the 1791 publication "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben" (Illustrations of the Knightly Orders with Unique Attire). This monumental work by Christian Friedrich Schwan documented spiritual and secular orders and provided historical context on their origins and missions. Originally published as a series of booklets between 1779 and 1791, it remains a vital resource for understanding the heraldic and ceremonial traditions of these distinguished orders.
The engraving captures the essence of the era with its refined artistry, reflecting the grandeur of the Order of St. Stephen. It would make a perfect addition to collections focusing on heraldry, ecclesiastical history, or 18th-century European art.
Condition Report:
Good condition with slight age-toning along the edges and minor foxing consistent with its age. Vibrant hand-coloring remains intact. The paper is sturdy with one small tear in the border not other significant damage.
Framing Tip:
This piece would shine in a classic gold-accented wooden frame with a neutral or off-white mat. This framing choice would enhance the historical significance and artistic detail of the engraving, making it a sophisticated display piece for any setting.
