About the Item
Title: Knight of the Constantinian Order, Vividly Illustrated from Schwan's Iconic Series
Description: This hand-colored engraving depicts a "Ritter des Constantiner-Ordens" (Knight of the Constantinian Order), adorned in ceremonial attire featuring a flowing blue mantle with intricate designs, paired with a white tunic and a striking pink cross insignia. The knight's posture exudes grace, complemented by an elaborate headdress with feathers, symbolizing the nobility of this prestigious chivalric order. The details of the garment, such as the sash and medallion, highlight the artistry typical of late 18th-century engravings.
This print is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan's acclaimed work "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben," a comprehensive series first issued in installments between 1779 and 1791. This Mannheim-published masterpiece provided both visual and historical insights into various orders, blending exquisite illustrations with textual narratives.
Condition: The engraving is in very good condition, with vivid colors and sharp details. Margins show slight age-related toning and faint foxing, consistent with a piece of this age. Paper remains strong and suitable for display.
Frame Tip: Enhance the engraving with a simple gilded frame to echo the opulence of the depicted order. Pair it with a cream-colored mat board to complement the tones of the print while emphasizing its vibrant colors.
This engraving is a remarkable example of both historical documentation and artistic craftsmanship, offering an elegant addition to any collection of historical prints, chivalric memorabilia, or decorative art. Its connection to Schwan's celebrated series makes it not only a visually appealing piece but also a significant artifact of cultural history.
