About the Item

Knight of the Illustrious Order of Saint Januarius in Ceremonial Robes Description: This hand-colored engraving depicts a distinguished Knight of the Illustrious Order of Saint Januarius, a chivalric order founded in 1738 by Charles VII of Naples. Adorned in a richly detailed ceremonial robe, the knight embodies the grandeur and tradition associated with one of Italy's most prestigious Catholic orders. The intricate garment features floral embroidery and tassels, paired with a striking purple cloak decorated with the insignia of the order, including the Maltese cross and other symbols of divine service. The order was established to honor Saint Januarius, the patron saint of Naples, and was intended to promote loyalty among the Neapolitan nobility. This depiction highlights the ceremonial regalia worn during formal occasions, reflecting the order's commitment to both spiritual and social significance. This engraving originates from the rare work "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben," published in Mannheim in 1791 by Christian Friedrich Schwan. The series showcases knights from various orders, each vividly illustrated and annotated with historical notes about the respective orders' origins and purposes. The vibrant colors and precise detailing bring this historical representation to life, making it a valuable addition to collections focused on heraldry, chivalry, or European history. Condition report: Clean impression on quality paper with minor foxing near the edges. Colors remain vibrant. Slight toning consistent with age. Suitable for framing. Framing tip: Enhance the engraving's historical elegance by pairing it with a gold-leaf or mahogany frame, complemented by a cream or off-white matting board to draw attention to the vibrant hand-coloring.
