Knight of the Golden Fleece: 1791 Hand-Colored Engraving in Ceremonial Robes
This regal hand-colored engraving, titled "Orden des goldenen Vlieses" (Order of the Golden Fleece), depicts a knight of this prestigious chivalric order in elaborate ceremonial attire. The knight is dressed in a resplendent crimson robe intricately embroidered with gold motifs. The ornate mantle, with its lavish detailing, symbolizes the wealth and grandeur associated with the Order. A matching crimson headdress adorned with golden patterns completes the ensemble, emphasizing the knight's high status within the Order.
The Order of the Golden Fleece, established in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, was one of the most distinguished chivalric orders in Europe. This engraving is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan’s celebrated series, "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden," or "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," published in Mannheim between 1779 and 1791. Schwan’s work is highly regarded for its meticulous representation of the ceremonial attire of European chivalric orders, offering a fascinating insight into their traditions and cultural significance.
The vibrant hand-coloring of this engraving highlights the richness of the ceremonial attire, making it a striking piece for collectors of heraldry, historical prints, or European chivalric art. The intricate detailing in the embroidery and the luxurious color palette reflect the grandeur of one of the most elite knightly orders.
Condition Report
Minor foxing and light toning along the margins, consistent with its age. The hand-coloring is vivid and well-preserved. Some faint handling marks, but the image remains crisp and vibrant.
Framing Tip
Pair this engraving with a crimson or gold-accented acid-free mat to complement the robe's rich tones. A gilded frame with subtle detailing will enhance the engraving’s historical and ceremonial appeal. Use UV-resistant glass to protect the vibrant hand-coloring and intricate details for years to come. Perfect for formal displays or as a focal point in a heraldic collection.
