Title: Knight of the Holy Virgin Mary: Rare Hand-Colored 18th-Century Engraving
Description: This exquisite hand-colored engraving portrays a "Ritter der heiligen Jungfrau Maria" (Knight of the Holy Virgin Mary). The figure is depicted in flowing ceremonial robes, with a prominent red cross adorned on his dark mantle, symbolizing his allegiance to the order. The modest and solemn posture reflects devotion and piety, characteristic of knights devoted to religious service. The engraving also features intricate details of the knight's attire, emphasizing the craftsmanship and artistic finesse of its creator.
This artwork is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan's seminal work, "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben," published in Mannheim between 1779 and 1791. Schwan's series is renowned for its meticulous depiction of spiritual and secular orders, providing a historical record of their distinctive uniforms and traditions. Each engraving is accompanied by historical insights, making it a valuable resource for historians and collectors alike.
Condition: Good condition with vibrant colors. Minor foxing and light age-related toning are present, consistent with its age. The paper is stable and free of tears or creases.
Frame Tip: Enhance the engraving's beauty with a dark wooden frame, such as walnut or mahogany, to complement the knight's cloak. A cream or light beige mat board would provide a pleasing contrast, drawing attention to the vibrant details.
This engraving is a timeless piece that combines artistic merit with historical significance. Its rarity, connection to Schwan's comprehensive work, and the subject's importance make it a perfect addition for collectors of religious or chivalric art.
