About the Item
1791 Engraving of a Knight Templar in House Dress by Christian Friedrich Schwan
This finely detailed engraving, titled "Ein Tempelherr im Hauskleide" (A Knight Templar in House Dress), features a full-length depiction of a Knight Templar in traditional house attire. The figure wears a white robe with a distinctive red cross on the shoulder, a hallmark of the Templar Order. His pose, with one hand resting near his chest and the other holding his robe, evokes a solemn and contemplative demeanor, symbolic of the Templars' spiritual dedication and chivalric code.
The work originates from Christian Friedrich Schwan's 1791 publication "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden," a renowned series documenting knightly orders and their unique ceremonial costumes. This publication was printed in Mannheim by the esteemed Hof- und Akademischen Buchhandlung. Schwan meticulously combined historical accuracy with artistic finesse to create a comprehensive record of European chivalric traditions.
This hand-colored engraving is a remarkable example of late 18th-century costume illustration. It captures the historical and symbolic essence of the Templar Order, making it not only an exquisite piece of art but also an important artifact for enthusiasts of history, heraldry, and chivalry.
Collectors and decorators alike will appreciate this engraving’s ability to transport viewers to the era of medieval knighthood and religious devotion.
Condition Report: Minor foxing on the margins, slight toning consistent with age, vibrant hand-coloring remains intact.
Framing Tip:
To enhance the engraving’s historical character, pair it with a cream-colored acid-free mat board and a dark wooden frame, such as walnut or mahogany, with a subtle antique finish. This combination will complement the engraving's period feel while preserving it for display. Adding UV-resistant glass is recommended to protect the delicate hand-coloring from fading.
This unique engraving would make a striking addition to any collection focused on historical costume or medieval history.
