Knight of the Order of the Redeemer or Precious Blood, 18th-Century Engraving

About the Item

Knight of the Order of the Redeemer or Precious Blood, 18th-Century Engraving This exquisite 18th-century hand-colored engraving portrays a Knight of the Order of the Redeemer (or the Precious Blood) adorned in ceremonial attire. The figure is depicted wearing an elaborately designed robe in deep red, richly ornamented with gold embroidery and symbolic insignias of the order. The knight stands confidently on a lightly shaded pedestal, evoking a sense of nobility and purpose. The detailing of his aristocratic attire, including the striped doublet and cape, speaks to the grandeur and solemnity of this esteemed order. His noble demeanor and finely depicted facial expression reflect the high social standing of such an individual during this period. This engraving is part of the series "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," originally published as a collection of booklets between 1779 and 1791 by Christian Friedrich Schwan in Mannheim. Schwan’s work documented the ceremonial costumes and uniforms of various religious and secular orders, providing both historical context and a visual feast for collectors. The series is renowned for its meticulous artistry and historical accuracy, making each piece a valuable cultural artifact. The engraving is well-preserved, with vivid coloring and sharp detailing. Its light aging and minor foxing contribute to the authenticity and charm of this historic piece. This engraving is a must-have for collectors of 18th-century prints, costume history enthusiasts, and those interested in religious and knightly orders. Condition Report: Good condition for its age with light foxing and slight discoloration on the edges. Vibrant colors and crisp lines remain intact, enhancing its visual appeal. Tip for Matting and Framing: This engraving pairs beautifully with a cream-colored mat with a gold inner trim and a classic dark wooden or gilded frame. This combination complements the rich tones of the robe and enhances the historical elegance of the piece.
