About the Item
Knight of the Order of the Annunciation in Ceremonial Attire – 18th Century Engraving
This exquisite 18th-century hand-colored engraving depicts a Knight of the Order of the Annunciation (Ordine della Santissima Annunziata) in his ceremonial attire. Adorned with a richly embroidered blue and red cloak and a distinctive feathered hat, the knight radiates prestige and elegance. The emblematic medallion, prominently displayed on his chest, represents the order’s deep Marian devotion. His stance conveys a regal dignity, symbolic of the order’s high rank in Savoyard nobility.
This work originates from the celebrated series "Illustrations of all Spiritual and Secular Orders" (Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden), created by Christian Friedrich Schwan and published in Mannheim between 1779 and 1791. The series meticulously documents the unique attire of various chivalric and religious orders across Europe, combining historical accuracy with artistic finesse.
The engraving is an exceptional example of late 18th-century European printmaking, with vibrant watercolor embellishments that enhance its intricate details. Its historical and artistic value makes it a must-have for collectors of chivalric orders, historical costume, or fine prints.

Hand-Colored Engraving of the Ceiling of the Church of Santa Costanza in Frame
Located in Pembroke, MA
A large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720. Pietro Santo...
