About the Item

Knight of the Holy Saints Maurice and Lazarus - Historic 18th-Century Hand-Colored Engraving This exquisite hand-colored engraving showcases a Knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, adorned in a striking magenta robe. The engraving captures the ceremonial attire in intricate detail, with a focus on the knight’s calm demeanor and ornate cross medallion, representing the heritage and valor associated with this chivalric order. The full-length figure is positioned on a plain pedestal, highlighting the elaborate garment's texture and elegant design. The engraving originates from the celebrated series "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden", published between 1779 and 1791. The series aimed to document spiritual and secular orders through historically accurate illustrations. This particular piece exemplifies the publisher's attention to detail, depicting the grandeur of the order established in the late medieval period and continued into the modern era, blending tradition and artistry. The engraving is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan's monumental publication, which served as a visual and historical account of the European knightly orders. Each figure was carefully engraved and colored, bringing these historical figures to life and providing a valuable insight into their ceremonial regalia. Condition Report The engraving is in very good condition with light foxing and minor age toning consistent with its age. The colors remain vibrant, and the paper is stable, with no tears or repairs noted. Original margins intact. Framing Tip To accentuate the engraving’s historical significance, consider a dark walnut or gold-trimmed frame with a cream-colored acid-free mat. This combination will enhance the vibrant magenta tones while preserving the artwork in pristine condition. For added depth, opt for a UV-protective glass to shield the colors from fading. This piece is a perfect addition to any collection of chivalric history, antique engravings, or European cultural artifacts.
